    [18F]AlF-NOTA-PCP2 PET/CT to Assess PD-L1 Status in Head and Neck Cancer: Head-to-Head Comparison With [18F]FDG PET/CT. (PubMed, Clin Nucl Med)
    [18F]AlF-NOTA-PCP2 PET/CT provides a superior, noninvasive approach for evaluating PD-L1 expression in HNC. Its high specificity for PD-L1 and favorable biodistribution position it as a promising tool for monitoring immunotherapy responses and informing treatment decisions.

    PD-L1 phenotype classification based on expression in tumor and immune cells as a potential biomarker for optimizing anti-PD-1/CTLA-4 immunotherapies in NSCLC. (PubMed, J Immunother Cancer)
    Patients with NSCLC and low TPS/high IC scores may benefit more from Nivo+Ipi than from Pembro due to distinct genomic and immunological features, including high TMB and Treg fraction.

    Best Practice PD-L1 Staining and Interpretation in Gastric Cancer Using PD-L1 IHC PharmDx 22C3 and PD-L1 IHC PharmDx 28-8 Assays, with Reference to Common Issues and Solutions. (PubMed, Biomedicines)
    Techniques are available that can optimize the automated staining of PharmDx PD-L1 assays using the Autostainer Link 48 to ensure consistent staining performance. The PD-L1 IHC PharmDx 22C3 and PD-L1 IHC PharmDx 28-8 assays show high concordance when used according to manufacturers' guidelines.

    Clinicopathological Implications of Maspin, CD8, and PD-L1 Expression in Liposarcomas. (PubMed, Curr Issues Mol Biol)
    Despite low overall expression rates, PD-L1 could serve as a prognostic biomarker and a potential target for immunotherapeutic strategies in liposarcomas. Further studies are necessary to standardize PD-L1 assessment and explore effective immunotherapy approaches for these tumors.

    Prognostic value of manual and digital PD-L1 expression in pT3 and pT4 colon cancer. (PubMed, Diagn Pathol)
    Our results suggest that high PD-L1 expression is associated with longer OS. In future studies examining PD-L1 expression as a prognostic biomarker in CC, assessing PD-L1 expression using a digital approach or the CPS can be recommended.

    PD-L1 expression in gastric cancer assessed with antibodies 28-8 and 22C3. (PubMed, Sci Rep)
    However, both assays demonstrated a concordance rate of 61%. In the study population, the subgroup with a Combined Positive Score (CPS) ≥ 10 was the most prevalent, suggesting that high PD-L1 expression is relatively common and potentially clinically relevant in this cohort.
