With the continued expansion of the cancer immunotherapy arsenal, reliable biomarkers to identify patients most likely to benefit from specific agents or combinations have become crucial. Predictive biomarkers such as measurement of PD-L1 expression and assessment of MSI/MMR or TMB status have an established role in some tumor types and settings, but a number of challenges related to testing and interpretation of results persist, and significant improvements are needed. There is also a need for ways to assess response to immunotherapies as they transition to early-stage, curative-intent settings as part of perioperative multimodal management of solid malignancies. Recently, pathologic response assessment has emerged as a potential new gold standard for measurement of impact of neoadjuvant immunotherapy. However, there has been limited guidance on how to define pathologic respons
