PURPOSE To characterize the relationship between tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL), tumor mutational burden (TMB), and genetic alterations in microsatellite stable (MSS), microsatellite instability (MSI), or mutant POLE/POLD1 colon cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Four hundred ninety-nine resected stage I-III colon tumors treated between 2014 and 2019 were assessed for TIL; somatic mutations, copy number alterations, and structural changes in > 400 oncogenes; and MSI status. RESULTS Of the 499 tumors analyzed, 313 were MSS, 175 were MSI, and 11 had POLE/POLD1 pathogenic mutations. Both the percentage of tumors with a high level of TIL (≥ 4 lymphocytes per high-power field) and the median TMB differed significantly between the three phenotypes: MSS, 4.5% and 6 mutations/Mb; MSI, 68% and 54 mutations/Mb; POLE/POLD1, 82% and 158 mutations/Mb ( P < .05). Within each phenotype, TMB did not vary significantly with TIL level. Among MSI tumors, the median number of frameshift indels was significantly higher in tumors with high levels of TIL (20 v 17; P = .018). In the MSS group, significantly higher proportions of tumors with high levels of TIL had mutations in the transforming growth factor-β (36% v 12%; P = .01), RAS (86% v 54%; P = .02), and Hippo (7% v 1%; P = .046) pathways; in contrast, TP53 alterations were associated with low levels of TIL (74% v 43%; P = .01). CONCLUSION The association between TIL, TMB, and genetic alterations varies significantly between MSI, MSS, and mutant POLE/POLD1 colon tumors. These differences may help explain tumoral immunity and lead to predictors of response to immunotherapy.
