The purpose of this study is to collect blood samples, as well as tumor tissue for genetic analysis. The collection of samples will allow the creation of a plasma bank. Targeted individuals are cancer patients of all types, treated with immunotherapy or targeted therapy. Immunotherapy or targeted agents will be administered according to standard of care and reimbursement modalities in Belgium. Targeted agents will be administered according to manufacturer's instructions. With the aim to identify predictive markers of response to treatment or possible resistance mechanism, the plasma samples and the tumor samples will be used for genetic analysis, for example but not limited to, whole exome sequencing. This may lead to the discovery of some germinal mutations implicated in other diseases than cancer.

efficacy of treatment against Cancer
Efficacy will be determined in terms of overall responses according to standard practice by the local investigator. Disease and response assessments are defined by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1.
Time frame: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 120 months
Overall survival (OS)
Overall survival is defined as the time from the date of inclusion to the date of death from any cause or to the date of last follow-up (in exceptional cases where it is impossible to document the date of death). Every effort should be made to document the cause of death.
Time frame: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression assessed up to 120 months
Progression free survival
Progression free survival (PFS) will be measured from the date of inclusion to the date of progression or death, whatever the cause. Progression will be defined according to the RECIST criteria.
Time frame: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression , assessed up to 120 months
Objective tumor response
Objective tumor response will be measured according to the RECIST 1.1 criteria.
Time frame: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 120 months
