For locally advanced and recurrent / metastatic head \& neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), the is an unmet need for the development of efficient treatment combinations, particularly with immune checkpoint inhibitors. HNSCC have been characterized at the genetic / molecular level concerning characteristics of malignancy and potential clinical actionability ; currently, however, the integration of molecular characteristics of both the malignant cells and the host immune response are considered fundamental for the selection of treatment that best suits these patients . The primary objective of the NCR-17-12885 project is to classify HNSCC for the selection of optimal therapeutic interventions for the patients, based on genomic characteristics and mutational processes operating in these tumours and on the prevailing activated immune pathways.
