Abstract

Summary: This study evaluated the expression of PD ‐ L 1 in immunotherapy‐naïve metastatic melanoma patients to determine longitudinal intrapatient concordance and correlate PD ‐ L 1 status with clinicopathologic characteristics and outcome. PD ‐ L 1 expression was assessed by immunohistochemistry in 58 patients (43 primary tumors, 96 metastases). Seventy‐two percent of patients had at least one specimen expressing PD ‐ L 1 in ≥1% of tumor cells. Median positive tumor cell count overall was low (8% in nonzero specimens). PD ‐ L 1 expression was frequently discordant between primary tumors and metastases and between intrapatient metastases, such that 23/46 longitudinal patient specimens were discordant. PD ‐ L 1 was associated with higher TIL grade but not with other known prognostic features. There was a positive univariate association between PD ‐ L 1 expression in locoregional metastases and melanoma‐specific survival, but the effect was not observed for primary melanoma. In locoregional lymph node metastasis, PD ‐ L 1+/ TIL + patients had the best outcome, and PD ‐ L 1+/ TIL − patients had poor outcome.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
