Description
PD-L1 is not only expressed in tumor cells (TCs) but also upregulated in tumor-infiltrating immune cells (TIICs). This meta-analysis evaluated the prognostic value of PD-L1 expression in TIICs in different types of cancers. 18 studies involving 3674 patients were included. PD-L1 positivity in TIICs related to a lower risk of death (HR = 0.784, p=0.047), and TIICs indicated a better prognosis especially in breast cancer patients (HR = 0.359, p=0.002).
