Summary
This study looked at whether people with advanced cancer (melanoma, kidney, or lung cancer) who are starting immunotherapy can collect tiny blood samples at home using a finger-prick method. The goal was to see if this approach is practical and if the samples are good enough for lab analysis. The results will help design future studies that may reduce the need for frequent hospital visits.
