Inclusion Criteria:
Signed written informed consent
Patients at least 18 years of age
Non-metastatic, newly diagnosed dMMR and pMMR cancers either fitting within aspecific basket or in the "other" cohort (e.g. sarcoma, head and neck cancers, analcancer, esophageal SCC)
In case of pMMR tumors: no indication for neoadjuvant therapy according to standardof care, unless adjuvant treatment is considered a standard of care alternative;
Eligible for study biopsy
World health organization (WHO) performance status of 0 or 1
Screening laboratory tests must meet the following criteria and should be obtainedwithin 7 days prior to randomization/registration: White blood cell count (WBC > 2.0x 10^9/L, Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) > 1.5x10^9/L, platelets > 100 x 10^9/L,Hemoglobin > 5.0mmol/L. Transfusion is allowed to obtain an adequate hemoglobinlevel. Liver function tests: total bilirubin < 1.5 upper limit of normal (ULN) (except for subjects with Gilbert syndrome, who can have total bilirubin <3.0mg/dL); alkaline phosphatase <1.5 ULN; transaminases (ASAT/ALAT) <3 x ULN; Lactatedehydrogenase (LDH) < 1.5x ULN; Creatinine clearance (Cockcroft-Gault) of >45ml/min, Albumin > 3.0 g/dL
Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP)* must use appropriate method(s) ofcontraception. WOCBP should use an adequate method to avoid pregnancy for 20 weeksafter the last dose of investigational drug, Non-childbearing potential is definedas:
Postmenopausal: ≥ 50 years of age and has not had menses for greater than 1year.
Amenorrheic for ≥ 2 years without a hysterectomy and bilateral oophorectomy anda follicle- stimulating hormone value in the postmenopausal range uponpre-study(screening) evaluation.
Status is post-hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, or tubal ligation.
Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test (minimum sensitivity 25 IU/L or equivalent units of HCG) within 24 hours prior tothe start of cycle 1 day 1
Men who are sexually active with WOCBP must use any contraceptive method with afailure rate of less than 1% per year. Men receiving the study treatment and who aresexually active with WOCBP (excluding azoospermic men) will be instructed to adhereto contraception for a period of 28 weeks after the last dose of investigationaldrug and are not allowed to donate sperm during that timeframe.

Conditions requiring systemic treatment with either corticosteroids (> 10 mg dailyprednisone equivalents) or other immunosuppressive medications within 14 days ofstudy drug administration. Inhaled or topical steroids and adrenal replacement doses > 10 mg daily prednisone equivalents are permitted in the absence of activeautoimmune disease
Live vaccines in the 4 weeks prior to inclusion
Psychological, familial, sociological or geographical condition potentiallyhampering compliance with the study protocol and follow-up schedule
