Tumor cells PD-L1 expression as a favorable prognosis factor in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients with pre-existing intratumor-infiltrating lymphocytes

Abstract: Programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression represents a mechanism of immune escape by inhibiting T cell immunity. This study systematically evaluated the expression of PD-L1, spatial distribution of CD3 Moreover, type classification based on intratumoral CD3 infiltration and tumor cell PD-L1 expression was an independent prognostic factor for NPC patients. PD-L1 expression on tumor cells is a favorable prognosis factor in NPC patients with pre-existing intratumor-infiltrating lymphocytes.

Several studies (eg, in lung cancer and gastric cancer) have shown that the PD-L1-negative/ CD8 high cohort had the most favorable prognosis.…”

“…It has been demonstrated that NF‐κB activation contribute to LMP‐1 mediated induction of PD‐L1 in NPC cells and natural killer/T‐cell lymphoma (Bi et al, ; Fang et al, ) (Figure ). However, the relationship between PD‐L1 expression and NPC clinical outcomes is remain controversial (Li, Ding, et al, ; Zhu et al, ). A latest clinical trial result revealed that Keytruda (Pembrolizumab) exert antitumor activity with a manageable safety in recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (RM‐NPC) patients with PD‐L1 expression (Hsu et al, ).…”
