Abstract:Background: Immunotherapy is a new strategy for Colorectal cancer (CRC) treatment. Tumor mutation burden (TMB) may act as an emerging biomarker for predicting responses to immunotherapy. Nevertheless, no studies investigate if these gene mutations correlate to TMB and tumor-infiltrating immune cells. Methods: Somatic mutation data for CRC samples were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC) datasets. Then, we investigated the relationship between these… Show more
