Intra-Tumoral CD8+ T-Cell Infiltration and PD-L1 Positivity in Homologous Recombination Deficient Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

Abstract excerpt

The immune contexture of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is generally immunosuppressive. A role for immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in PDAC has only been demonstrated for the rare and hypermutated mismatch repair (MMR) deficient (MMR-d) subtype. Homologous recombination repair (HR) deficient (HR-d) PDAC is more prevalent and may encompass up to 20% of PDAC. Its genomic instability may promote a T-cell...
