| description | Tumor mutation/mutational burden (TMB), also known as mutation load, is a biomarker for various cancer types to identify patients who will benefit from immunotherapy, such as immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy.[PMID: 30395155] Various quantitative and ordinal results may be reported, so it is important to distinguish the type of results when mapping to LOINC. Quantitative results typically include the number of mutations detected per megabase (mut/Mb), often by NGS, in a tumor specimen (this term). The mutations targeted may include non-synonymous or both synonymous and non-synonymous mutations. An ordinal TMB result [LOINC: 94077-5] of high, low, etc., may also be reported to provide an overall interpretation for the quantitative value (muts/Mb). We encourage labs to report how results are determined or calculated in either the structured message format or using another LOINC. | ||

| component | Mutations/Megabase | ||
| property | NRto = Number Ratio | ||
| time | Pt = Point in time: To identify measures at a point in time. This is a synonym for “spot” or “random” as applied to urine measurements. | ||
| system | Tumor | ||
| scale | Qn = Quantitative: The result of the test is a numeric value that relates to a continuous numeric scale. Reported either as an integer, a ratio, a real number, or a range. The test result value may optionally contain a relational operator from the set {<=, <, >, >=}. Valid values for a quantitative test are of the form "7", "-7", "7.4", "-7.4", "7.8912", "0.125", "<10", "<10.15", ">12000", 1-10, 1:256 | ||

Associated Observations | |||
LOINC codes that represent optional associated observation(s) for a clinical observation or laboratory test. A LOINC term may represent a single associated observation or panel containing several associated observations. | |||
