Prognostic Value of Tumor Mutational Burden Related to Immune Infiltration in Cervical Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Cervical squamous cell carcinoma is one of the most common causes of female cancer deaths worldwide. At present, immunotherapy using immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) has improved the prognosis of many cancer patients, and neoantigens generated by mutations may serve as potential biomarkers for predi...

Cervical squamous cell carcinoma is one of the most common causes of female cancer deaths worldwide.
