Cancer immunophenotypes—immune desert (ID), immune excluded (IE), and immune inflamed (II)—reflect intratumoral immune activity and correlate with immunotherapy efficacy. Serological methods for non-invasive immunophenotyping would be clinically valuable for selecting therapies. We measured plasma concentrations of cyt...
