Mutation burden and anti-PD-1 outcomes are not universally associated with immune cell infiltration or lymphoid activation
Analysis of 27,810 patients with advanced cancers treated with anti-PD-1/L1 therapies shows that immune gene signatures or immune cell infiltration is not universally associated with mutation burden or long-term survivors after immunotherapies across cancer entities. Thus, immunological stratification of tumors has limited bearing on the immunogenicity of tumors or immunotherapy outcomes.
