Description
Annabella Di Mauro and a large team wrote a 2024 study on a gene-based marker in advanced colon cancer. Some tumors carry many mutations, a trait called high mutational burden. It was not clear if that trait predicts survival when tumors are of the stable type. That type does not respond to immune drugs in the usual way.
The team profiled just over a hundred such patients on standard care. Those with high burden lived far longer on median than those with low burden. The link held after checks for age, spread and response to first chemo. The authors call the trait an independent sign of better outlook.
