Programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression and tumor microenvironment: Implications for patients with oral precancerous lesions
Highlights • The majority of CD163+ and CD8+ cells are found in the superficial lamina propria. • Increase in CD163+ cell number represents a risk factor for high-grade dysplasia. • Subepithelial PD-L1+ cell number is associated with malignant transformation risk. • Epithelial PD-L1 positivity is as...

Zusammenfassung: | Highlights • The majority of CD163+ and CD8+ cells are found in the superficial lamina propria. • Increase in CD163+ cell number represents a risk factor for high-grade dysplasia. • Subepithelial PD-L1+ cell number is associated with malignant transformation risk. • Epithelial PD-L1 positivity is associated with malignant transformation risk. • PD-L1 inhibition may prevent malignant transformation of oral precancerous legions. |
