Rationale for PD-L1 Expression as a Biomarker in Immuno-Oncology
PD-L1 expression is a rational biomarker to predict response to PD-1/PD-L1 ICI therapy, and has been studied extensively in clinical trials. A recurring theme emerging from available clinical data is that high levels of tumor cell membrane PD-L1 expression correlate with better outcomes with PD-1/PD-L1 blockade. Read More ›

The Evolving Role of PD-L1 Testing in Patients with Cancer
Testing in Patients with Cancer Clearly, immunotherapy has come of age in multiple tumor types, as described in the main article in this publication. The question now is how to develop more personalized immunotherapy and use biomarkers to identify patients most likely to benefit from this therapy. Read More ›

Ensuring Consistent and Reliable Biomarker Testing
In the main article of this publication, the current state of programmed-cell death-1 and programmed-cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) testing, evasion by tumors of the immune system, and the study and use of immune checkpoint inhibitors across multiple tumor types are expertly summarized. Read More ›
