Summary

This study enrolls 500 adults with advanced head and neck cancer who are starting standard immunotherapy. Researchers will collect blood and tumor samples over time to look for genetic and immune markers that may predict how well treatment works or why it stops working. The goal is to gather information to improve future treatments, not to test a new drug.
