This webinar is a recorded presentation of a live broadcast and includes the presentation, handout, and the audience QA.
Description:
This webinar will cover the background and rationale for the use of tumor mutational burden (TMB) as a biomarker for immunotherapy in oncology. The various biomarkers that have been evaluated for immunotherapy will be explored and a discussion of TMB’s role and use in oncology will be made. The course will cover an overview of immunotherapy drugs, targets, and tumor types for which TMB has been used as a biomarker.
Learning Objectives:
- Define TMB and the rationale for its use as a biomarker for immunotherapy in oncology
- Describe the clinical utilization of TMB in oncology
