Aca = adenocarcinoma; SCC = spinocellular carcinoma.

Bold = Matching TMB positivity (= high TMB) in tissue and serum using all mutation calculation in/excluding HLA genes (tissue ≥22/12 mut/Mb and serum ≥21/5 mut/Mb).

() = Matching TMB negativity (= low TMB) in tissue and serum using all mutation calculation in/excluding HLA genes (tissue <22/12 mut/Mb and serum <21/5 mut/Mb).

x Mismatch in TMB positivity/negativity between tTMB and bTMB in the same TMB calculation approach with defined cut-offs.

a) tTMB all = all tissue somatic mutations in all genes.

b) bTMB all = all liquid biopsy somatic mutations in all genes.

c) tTMB non-synonymous all = all tissue non-synonymous somatic mutations in all genes.

d) bTMB non-synonymous all = all liquid biopsy non-synonymous somatic mutations in all genes.

e) tTMB nonHLA = all tissue somatic mutations in all genes except HLA genes.

f) bTMB nonHLA = all liquid somatic mutations in all genes except HLA genes.

g) tTMB non-synonymous nonHLA = all tissue non-synonymous somatic mutations in all genes except HLA genes.

h) bTMB non-synonymous nonHLA = all liquid biopsy non-synonymous somatic mutations in all genes except HLA genes.
