PD-L1
A protein on cancer cells that helps them evade the immune system; a key marker for immunotherapy.
PD-L1 expression on cancer cells indicates likely response to immunotherapy (pembrolizumab, nivolumab). Tested as a percentage of cells.
What this means for you: confirm PD-L1 testing. High PD-L1 makes immunotherapy a strong option, often as first-line therapy.
