As the cancer immunotherapy arsenal and its impact on patient care continues to expand, it’s more important than ever to refine testing for predictive biomarkers to guide patient selection and clinical decisions about treatment. Assessments of PD-L1 expression and MSI/MMR or TMB status have a role in some tumor types and treatment settings, but a number of challenges related to testing and interpretation of results remain, and better predictive tools are needed. There is also an increasing need for new ways to measure response to immunotherapies as they transition to early-stage, curative-intent settings in different solid tumors. Pathologic response assessment has emerged as a promising approach for evaluating the impact of neoadjuvant immunotherapy in lung, breast, and other cancers. However, limited guidance has been available on how to define and measure pathologic response,
