Summary

This study tests whether giving two immunotherapy drugs (nivolumab and relatlimab) before surgery can shrink advanced skin cancer (cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma) and lower the chance of it coming back. About 20 adults with stage II to IV cancer that can be surgically removed will receive the drugs for 6 weeks, then have surgery. The main goal is to see how many patients have no cancer cells left in the removed tissue.
