Summary

This study collected fluid from surgical drains and blood samples from 10 patients who had surgery for stomach or esophageal cancer. Researchers used lab tests to look for molecular markers that might help predict how well a patient will respond to immunotherapy. The goal was to set up a process for future studies, not to test a new treatment.
