Summary

This study is looking for biological markers (biomarkers) that might predict how well patients with certain types of squamous cell carcinoma respond to a type of immunotherapy called PD-1 inhibitors. Researchers will analyze blood and tumor tissue samples from 800 patients, both past and future, to develop a scoring system. The goal is to help doctors choose the right treatment for the right patient.
