  1. Patients in the UCSD cohort (N = 202) tend to be older and are roughly evenly distributed between men and women. Almost half (49%) of the patients have metastatic cancer. 55 of them (27.23%) received immunotherapy between their first and last biopsies, on average 722 days apart
  2. Data derived from medical record; if tobacco or alcohol exposure not known, then patients not counted
