FEATURES OF PRIMARY AND ADAPTIVE IMMUNOTHERAPY RESISTANCE IN MICROSATELLITE INSTABLE CANCERS - Clinical Trial
What is the Purpose of this Study?
We are doing this study to examine genetic changes in your tumor that may contribute to resistance to immunotherapy. With this information, we hope to be able to identify new treatment methods as well as improve our ability to identify patients more likely to respond to immunotherapy.
