Description:

This webinar will cover the methodology for calculating tumor mutational burden (TMB) and will review technical considerations that can impact TMB calculation. The utility of detecting the underlying mutational processes that determine a tumor's mutational burden will also be discussed. The course will cover an overview of immunotherapy drugs, targets, and tumor types for which TMB has been used as a biomarker.

Learning Objectives:

  • Describe laboratory and bioinformatic factors that can influence TMB calculation.
  • Describe the underlying mutational processes that give rise to a tumor's mutational burden
