Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The expression of programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) is considered a predictive biomarker of anti-programmed death 1 (PD-1)/PD-L1 cancer therapies. However, changes in PD-L1 expression of tumor cells during clinical courses have not been fully evaluated. We evaluated changes in PD-L1 expression for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who received anticancer treatments during clinical courses....
