The prediction of survival of patients with gastric cancer with PD-L1 expression using contrast-enhanced ultrasonography

Abstract: Gastric cancer is the one of the most common cancers around the world. The prognosis of gastric cancer remains poor, due to the biological characteristics of the primary tumor as well as the recurrence after treatment. Accumulating evidence suggests the implication of programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) in the pathogenesis and prognosis of cancer. This study aimed to explore the CEUS as a valuable tool to improve the assessment of the therapeutic effect of the PD-L1 blocker in the treatment of gastric cancer. A … Show more

“…However, for patients with GC, the association between the expression of PD-L1 and their prognosis remains controversial. Multiple studies have indicated that positive PD-L1 expression is associated with a significantly poor OS1617181920212223, but other studies could not confirm this finding2425.…”

“…CEUS offers an early evaluation of microvascular perfusion within the tumor lesions 16 and therefore plays an important role in the early diagnosis and prognostic prediction for many solid tumors. [17][18][19][20] However, CEUS is rarely used in hematologic malignancies, especially DLBCL. By comparing the quantitative parameters of CEUS across DLBCL patients in different clinical stages, we found that both PPT and WOT were significantly shortened in advanced DLBCL, while PI and AUC increased dramatically.…”

“…CEUS has several advantages; it is a well-tolerated noninvasive technique in contrast to the standard invasive upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and has a smaller ionizing burden than a computed tomography (CT) scan. This study pointed out the promising role of this imaging technique in predicting PD-L1 expression ( p = 0.0003) [95]. A recent meta-analysis comprised 10 studies with 1901 GC patients assessing PD-L1 expression, low OS ( p = 0.01), and poor clinicopathological status [96].…”
