Table 2. Potential biomarkers.

Biomarker Incidence Prognostic or predictive Method of testing Possible clinical utility
TILs N/A Predictive No standard testing Identifies response to immunotherapy
Neoantigens N/A Predictive Whole-exome RNA sequencing Identifies response to immunotherapy
PD-1/PD-L1 N/A Predictive No standard testing Identifies response to immunotherapy
CpG island methylation 40% Predictive Gene expression Identifies response to alkylating agents

TILs, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes; PD-1, programmed death protein-1; PD-L1, programmed death-ligand 1.
