RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE EXPRESSIONS OF PD-L1 AND SOME OF PATHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF GASTRIC ADENOCARCINOMA
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objectives: To evaluate the expression of PD-L1 and find its relationship with some histopathological features in GAC. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study on 115 GAC patients confirmed by histopathology on surgical specimens and stained monoclonal antibody PD-L1 by immunohistochemistry at the Pathology – Cytology Department of Hanoi Oncology Hospital from January 2015 to December 2019. Results: The prevalence of positive PD-L1 expression (CPS ≥1) in GAC was 37.4% (43/115 cases). There was no diffenrence in the prevelance of PD-L1 expression between location and size of tumor; histopathological classification; differentiation and lymph node metastasis status. However, there was a statistically significant difference in the prevalence of PD-L1 expression between the invasive stage in GAC. Conclusion: The prevalence of positive PD-L1 expression in GAC was 37.4% (CPS ≥ 1). Tumors with higher invasive stage had a higher prevalence of PD-L1 expression than those with early stage.
