This is an impt distinction. Low(er) TMB =/= no immune response.
“It is crucial to understand that although a tumor’s genotype can shape its microenvironment, higher mutation rates are not necessarily equal to higher immune infiltration into the tumor.”

Post-Thanksgiving food for thought on ctDNA for cancer detection.
Apparently healthy adults have circulating mutant DNA (not a surprise) but 58% are CHIP related “passenger” mutations that are also considered solid tumor “drivers”.
