Assessment of programmed death‐ligand 1 expression and tumor‐associated immune cells in pediatric cancer tissues
13 Jun 2017
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Programmed death 1 (PD-1) signaling in the tumor microenvironment dampens immune responses to cancer, and blocking this axis induces antitumor effects in several malignancies. Clinical studies of PD-1 blockade are only now being initiated in pediatric patients, and little is known regarding programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression in common childhood cancers. The authors characterized PD-L1...
