Various impacts of driver mutations on the PD-L1 expression of NSCLC

Various impacts of driver mutations on the PD-L1 expression of NSCLC

Source : https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0273207

We aimed to evaluate whether different driver mutations have varying impacts on the programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and whether the prognostic roles...


Conclusion: Individual driver mutations had various impacts on the PD-L1 expression of NSCLC patients. The prognostic role of PD-L1 may also be divergent amongst patients harboring different driver mutations.
