Title: Prognostic significance of PD-L1 expression as a potential predictor of survival in gastric cancer

Abstract

Currently, the effect of PD-L1 expression on the prognosis in patients with malignant neoplasms of various localizations is being actively studied, however, data remains unclear, due to differences in approaches and methodology of PD-L1 testing and scoring, as well as other determinants. For instant, recent research shows that the PD-L1 22C3 pharmDx assay might be used as a companion diagnostic assay for the use of pembrolizumab in patients with advanced gastric cancer, moreover the 22C3 expression correlates with the tumor response. However, studies that report the expression of PD-L1 detected by clones SP142 and SP263 (for the atezolizumab and durvalumab, respectively) are rare. The prognostic role of PD-L1 expression in patients who were not treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors has also not been investigated.
