Tumor Mutational Burden–High Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma Presenting with Solitary Brain Metastasis: A Case of Precision Oncology

This case suggests that an integrated approach, combining aggressive local therapy with systemic immunotherapy informed by biomarkers, can achieve a favorable outcome in selected patients with ICC. The identification of a high tumor mutational burden was crucial in guiding treatment and supports its potential as a predictive biomarker. This precision oncology strategy may improve the poor prognosis associated with this condition.

Abstract

This case suggests that an integrated approach, combining aggressive local therapy with systemic immunotherapy informed by biomarkers, can achieve a favorable outcome in selected patients with ICC. The identification of a high tumor mutational burden was crucial in guiding treatment and supports its potential as a predictive biomarker. This precision oncology strategy may improve the poor prognosis associated with this condition.
