RAD51Bme levels were analysed in samples of NSCLC obtained from patients not treated with anti-PD-1 blockade……and patients treated with anti-PD-1…RAD51Bme levels significantly associated with PD-L1 immunoexpression. Patients with clinical benefit from immunotherapy disclosed higher RAD51Bme levels (p = 0.04) and significantly higher median progression free survival (PFS) (p = 0.02)....We demonstrated that RAD51Bme levels might be combined with validated predictive biomarker PD-L1 immunostaining to select patients who will most likely experience clinical benefit from PD-1 blockade.
