“…On the other hand, tumor cells can evade immune anti-tumor response using several mechanisms, such as the expression of negative immune checkpoint molecules and the modulation of the tumor microenvironment [ 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 ]. The expression of PD-L1 has been demonstrated in penile [ 26 , 27 ], vulvar [ 28 , 29 ] and anal [ 30 , 31 ] carcinomas, with different percentages of positive cells, and these previous reports about PD-L1 expression, including TILs presence, in rare cancer tissues had been evaluated using a classic immunohistochemistry (IHC) [ 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 ]. Even though the IHC is considered as a hallmark for cancer diagnosis, this tool has several limitations, including inter-observer variability, and the fact that it only allows the analysis of one to two biomarkers at a time [ 32 ].…”
