“…Previously reports in melanoma, renal cell carcinomas, hepatocellular carcinomas, pancreatic cancers, esophageal cancers, gastric cancers, ovarian cancers, non-small cell lung carcinomas, and thymic cancers demonstrated that the expression of PD-L1 was related to poor prognosis [4,7,[19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27]. Of note, in other cancers, it remains controversial [28][29][30][31][32][33]. One potential explanation linking a poor histology (types A, AB, and B, or type C) with higher PD-L1 expression could be that PD-L1 expression on tumor cells inhibits the infiltration of T lymphocytes and cause down-regulation and apoptosis of TIL, causing immunosuppression [34].…”
