Any solid tumor with measurable disease that is eligible for pure ICI therapy or that the clinician plans to treat with immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy. NOTE: This can be in the setting of a trial, compassionate use, or the use of appropriate laboratory developed tests (LDTs) that, per clinician, render the patient eligible for ICI therapy, either frontline or a later line.

NEOADJUVANT PATIENTS: Subjects must be eligible based on investigator discretion to receive approved CPI therapy.
Subjects who are newly diagnosed or have suspected cancer must be treatment-naïve at the time of biopsy.
Subjects who are Stage I, II, or III and have progressed to metastatic cannot have received any anti-cancer treatment for at least 2 - 4 weeks (depending upon the washout period of prior anti-cancer treatment) prior to biopsy as per the agents used.
