We assessed the prognostic value of programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) and programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) in patients with completely resected lung adenocarcinoma.
PD-1 and PD-L1 expression was determined using immunohistochemistry in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded surgical specimens and correlated with the clinicopathologic features and survival of 161 patients with lung adenocarcinoma.
PD-1 expression on immune cells was observed in 71 of 159 evaluable tumor samples (45%) and was not significantly associated with the clinicopathologic features. Multivariate analyses identified PD-1 expression as an independent prognostic factor for recurrence (adjusted hazard ratio [HR], 0.59; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.36-0.95; P = .03) and death (adjusted HR, 0.48; 95% CI, 0.27-0.86; P = 0.01). PD-L1 expression on tumor cells was seen in 59 of 161 cases (37%) and correlated with KRAS mutation status (P = .02) and type of surgery (P = .01). PD-L1 expression was not associated with recurrence-free survival in the patients (adjusted HR, 0.90; 95% CI, 0.55-1.48; P = .68) but correlated with longer overall survival (adjusted HR, 0.54; 95% CI, 0.30-0.97; P = .04).
PD-1 and PD-L1 expression was associated with favorable overall survival in patients with completely resected adenocarcinoma of the lung.
我们评估了程序性细胞死亡 1(PD-1)和程序性细胞死亡配体 1(PD-L1)在完全切除的肺腺癌患者中的预后价值。
使用免疫组织化学法在福尔马林固定石蜡包埋的手术标本中测定 PD-1 和 PD-L1 的表达,并将其与 161 例肺腺癌患者的临床病理特征和生存相关联。
在 159 例可评估的肿瘤标本中,有 71 例(45%)观察到免疫细胞上的 PD-1 表达,且与临床病理特征无显著相关性。多变量分析确定 PD-1 表达是复发(调整后的危险比 [HR],0.59;95%置信区间 [CI],0.36-0.95;P =.03)和死亡(调整后的 HR,0.48;95% CI,0.27-0.86;P =.01)的独立预后因素。在 161 例病例中,有 59 例(37%)观察到肿瘤细胞上的 PD-L1 表达,且与 KRAS 突变状态(P =.02)和手术类型(P =.01)相关。PD-L1 表达与患者无复发生存期无关(调整后的 HR,0.90;95% CI,0.55-1.48;P =.68),但与总生存期较长相关(调整后的 HR,0.54;95% CI,0.30-0.97;P =.04)。
PD-1 和 PD-L1 的表达与完全切除的肺腺癌患者的总体生存获益相关。
