Tumor mutational burden (TMB) correlates with tumor neoantigen burden, T cell infiltration, and response to immune checkpoint inhibitors in many solid tumor types. Based on data from the phase II KEYNOTE-158 study, the anti-PD-1 antibody pembrolizumab was granted approval for treating patients with advanced solid tumors and TMB ≥ 10 mutations per megabase. However, this trial did not include any patients with metastatic breast cancer; thus, several questions remain unanswered about the true role of TMB as a predictive biomarker of benefit to immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy in breast cancer. In this review, we will discuss the challenges and opportunities in establishing TMB as a predictive biomarker of benefit to immunotherapy in metastatic breast cancer.
肿瘤突变负荷(TMB)与许多实体瘤类型中的肿瘤新抗原负荷、T细胞浸润以及对免疫检查点抑制剂的反应相关。基于II期KEYNOTE-158研究的数据,抗PD-1抗体帕博利珠单抗被批准用于治疗晚期实体瘤且TMB≥每兆碱基10个突变的患者。然而,该试验未纳入任何转移性乳腺癌患者;因此,关于TMB作为乳腺癌免疫检查点抑制剂治疗获益预测生物标志物的真正作用,仍有几个问题未得到解答。在本综述中,我们将讨论在转移性乳腺癌中确立TMB作为免疫治疗获益预测生物标志物所面临的挑战和机遇。
