107Background: Several kinds of predictors of ICIs efficacy in NSCLC have been analyzed. PD-L1 expression of tumor, frequency of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) and microsatellite instability are cited as potential predictors of treatment efficacy of ICIs, but these still seem to be immature. Lately, mutation load in tumor, presumably involving to neo-antigens in tumor tissue, is also thought to be one of more probable predictors for ICIs. However, the hypothesis is still limited and it is very hard to analyze the mutation load routinely in clinic. We here describe more definitive and easily detecting factors by using Next generation sequencing (NGS) and by analyzing conventional immunological and molecular parameters. Methods: 94 patients with NSCLC who undergone resection in our institution were subjected for this study. Mutation load in tumor samples was analyzed by whole exome sequencing using NGS. The major gene alteration was also analyzed by NGS. TILs and PD-L1 expression in tumor were immunoh...
