*, methods in bold represent the most suitable method for TMB estimation; #, values in bold indicate the highest value for sensitivity, specificity, PPV, or MCC. NSCLC, non-small cell lung cancer; TMB, tumor mutation burden; TP, true positive; FP, false positive; TN, true negative; FN, false negative; PPV, positive predictive value; MCC, Matthew’s correlation coefficient.
