Tumor Location Significantly Correlates With PD-L1 Status in Patients With Small Sized Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
PD-L1 expression status significantly correlated with CTR, histological type and tumor location. This is the first report demonstrating a significant correlation between PD-L1 expression and tumor location in NSCLC. We believe that differences in the cancer microenvironment based on tumor location influence PD-L1 expression status in cancer cells.
