  1. aThe “Other” tumor pathology group includes the following sarcoma subtypes: alveolar soft part (n = 1), angiosarcoma (n = 1), chondrosarcoma (n = 1), Ewing (n = 1), epitheliod angiosarcoma (n = 1), epitheliod sarcoma (n = 2), gastrointestinal stromal tumor (n = 2), inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (n = 1), interdigitating dendritic cell (n = 1), mesenchymal chondrosarcoma (n = 1), myoepithlioma (n = 1), myxoinflammatory fibroblastic soft tissue (n = 1), myxofibrosarcoma (n = 1), myxoid sarcoma (n = 1), sarcomatoid carcinoma (n = 2), solitary fibrous (n = 1), and undefined soft tissue (n = 1)
  2. bThree of these patients were treated with nivolumab and ipilimumab the entire duration of studied time, two of the patients started with nivolumab alone followed by nivolumab and ipilimumab combination, and one patient started with nivolumab and ipilimumab followed by nivolumab alone
