The prognostic role of soluble transforming growth factor‐β and its correlation with soluble programmed death‐ligand 1 in biliary tract cancer

Background This study aimed to evaluate the association between soluble TGF‐β (sTGF‐β) and soluble PD‐L1 (sPDL1), the dynamics of sTGF‐β during treatment and its prognostic role in biliary tract cancer (BTC). Methods The study population consisted of 90 BTC patients with first‐line chemotherapy (coh...

Zusammenfassung:Background This study aimed to evaluate the association between soluble TGF‐β (sTGF‐β) and soluble PD‐L1 (sPDL1), the dynamics of sTGF‐β during treatment and its prognostic role in biliary tract cancer (BTC). Methods The study population consisted of 90 BTC patients with first‐line chemotherapy (cohort 1) and 35 BTC patients with second‐ or third‐line chemotherapy (cohort 2). Plasma sTGF‐β and sPDL1 levels were measured using an enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay. Results In both groups, sTGF‐β was positive correlated with sPDL1 for baseline and change values after treatment. sTGF‐β was elevated at disease progression compared to baseline in cohort 1 (P
