Correlation between stromal Th and Tc lymphocytes and PD-L1 expression in early breast cancer tumors

Our results indicate that the density of stromal lymphocytic infiltrate might be a better predictor of PD-L1 positivity in early breast cancer than the molecular subtype and that the key to the optimization of PD-L1 as a biomarker in breast cancer lies in its interpretation in the context of other immune response markers.
