摘要: The significance of programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression in the prognosis patients with colorectal cancer remains to be determined. We assessed levels PD-L1 tumor-infiltrating immune cells as well tumor cells, and evaluated association between clinical outcome 262 patients. In univariate analysis, TNM stage (p < 0.001), (p = 0.016), location (p = 0.033), size (p = 0.019) were associated survival. multivariate infiltrating independent prognostic factors (HR 1.83, 95 % CI 1.09–3.05, p = 0.021; HR 2.49, 1.51–4.12, p < 0.001, respectively). Eight percent had positive cells. contrast, was not significantly patient outcome. Our data indicate that status is a significant factor There need for randomized studies evaluate role treatment decision protocols novel immunotherapy.
