Identifying Molecular Determinants of Prognosis in Advanced Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Immunotherapy is a crucial treatment for advanced squamous cell cancers that cannot be cured by surgery alone. But it works only half of the time, and we do not know why it fails in 50% of patients. This study will help to fill the knowledge gap by identifying predictors of immunotherapy response and failure, coupling novel spatial gene-expression profiling technology with advanced machine learning techniques.
