ABSTRACT
In this study, we analyzed the blood-based TMB (b-TMB) and its dynamic changes in patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC) who received concurrent chemoradiotherapy. Baseline tissue and blood TMB from 15 patients showed a strong positive correlation (Pearson correlation = 0.937), and nearly all mutations were markedly reduced in the later course of treatment, indicating a treatment-related response. This study suggests that in patients with LA-NSCLC, b-TMB is a reliable biomarker, and its dynamic monitoring can help distinguish patients who might benefit most from the consolidated immunotherapy.
