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.
