These features were selected based on the findings of Chang et al. (2024), who identified them as the most important for training the model. ## TMB (Tumor mutation burden) -Tumor mutation burden (TMB) is defined as the total number of somatic mutations within a specified region of the tumor genome. It has been recognized as a biomarker for predicting the efficacy of immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) in solid tumors. The FDA has approved a threshold of 10 mutations per megabase (mut/Mb) as a biomarker for response to ICB treatment. +Tumor mutation burden (TMB) is defined as the total number of somatic mutations within a specified region of the tumor genome. It has been recognized as a biomarker for predicting the efficacy of immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) in solid tumors. The [U.S. Food and Drug Administration](https://www.fda.gov/) (FDA) has approved a threshold of 10 mutations per megabase (mut/Mb) as a biomarker for response to ICB treatment. In this dataset, TMB values range from 0 to over 368 mutations per megabase, with some extreme values, such as 368.6 and 93.5. To mitigate the influence of these outliers, TMB values will be truncated at 50 mut/Mb, meaning any value exceeding 50 will be capped at 50. This is crucial because extreme TMB values can disproportionately skew the model’s learning process, leading to unreliable predictions.
