Tumor mutation burden (TMB)-associated signature constructed to predict survival of lung squamous cell carcinoma patients

Abstract Lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) is a common type of lung cancer with high incidence and mortality rate. Tumor mutational burden (TMB) is an emerging biomarker for selecting patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) for immunotherapy. This study aimed to reveal TMB involved in the...
