Our study is the first to investigate the correlation between KMT2 gene mutations and the clinical benefit of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) treatment. We firstly collected a primary ICI-treated cohort (n = 546) and found that patients with KMT2A/C mutations yielded better prognosis in terms of progr ...[more]
