Sarcomatoid lung carcinomas show high levels of Programmed Death Ligand-1 (PD-L1) and strong immune-cell infiltration by TCD3 cells and macrophages

Highlights • PD-L1, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) were higher in SC than in NSCLC. • High levels of TIL constituted a factor of good prognosis. • PD-L1 expression distinguishes subpopulations within tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (CD3+ or CD4+) with different prognosis. • This result could re...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • PD-L1, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) were higher in SC than in NSCLC. • High levels of TIL constituted a factor of good prognosis. • PD-L1 expression distinguishes subpopulations within tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (CD3+ or CD4+) with different prognosis. • This result could represent a justification for the use of PD-L1/PD-1 immunotherapy.
