Table 1 Baseline clinical characteristics of the cohort. The table shows clinical data of the cohort stratified by tumor entity (ACC vs non-ACC). Clinical data includes sex, age at biopsy, primary site, tumor entity, and information on prior therapies. Due to rounding percentages may not add up to 100. Detailed, per-patient data can be found in Supplementary Table 1

From: A macrophage-predominant immunosuppressive microenvironment and therapeutic vulnerabilities in advanced salivary gland cancer
