High mutation burden (number of gene mutations in the cell) indicates that the cancer may respond to treatment with checkpoints inhibitor such as Keytruda or similar drugs.
High tumor mutation burden is defined as more than 20 Mb and less than 50 Mb. A mutation burden of 7.75 is considered intermediate.
