Patients from three independent cohorts (OAK, POPLAR and MSKCC study cohort) and were used to analyze the correlation between PTCH1 mutations and the efficacy of immune checkpoint blockade immunotherapies (ICIs)....In terms of prognostic effect with ICIs therapy, PTCH1mut were significantly associated with the overall survival (OS) of NSCLC (median, 5 months vs 11 months; HR = 1.61; 95% CI, 1.00-2.60; P = 0.049) and colorectal (median, 11 months vs 8 months; HR = 0.27; 95% CI, 0.08–0.90; P = 0.023).
