Overexpression of PVR and PD-L1 and its association with prognosis in surgically resected squamous cell lung carcinoma

Targeting T-Cell Immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domain-poliovirus receptor (PVR) pathway is a potential therapeutic strategy in lung cancer. We analyzed the expression of PVR and programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) in surgically resected squamous cell lung carcinoma (SQCC) and determined its prognostic significance. We collected archival surgical specimens and data of 259 patients with SQCC at Yonsei Cancer Center (1998–2020). Analysis of...
