Persistent tumor mutation burden linked with therapeutic response to immunotherapy

Cancer experts have tried, sometimes unsuccessfully, to use the total number of mutations in a tumor, called the tumor mutation burden (TMB), to predict a patient's response to immunotherapy.

Targeting newly discovered signaling pathway could boost the potency of cancer therapeutics

Cells zealously protect the integrity of their genomes, because damage can lead to cancer or cell death. The genome - a cell's complete set of DNA - is most vulnerable while it is being duplicated before a cell divides. Cancer cells constantly are dividing, so their genomes are constantly in jeopardy.
