Type of cancerFunctionReferences

PD-L1 in colorectal carcinoma (CRC)The presence of PD-L1 is an independent predictor of CC prognosis. Proliferating, migrating, and invading cells can be prevented by B7-H1 knockdown.[22]
PD-L1 in cervical cancer (CC)PD-L1 has no considerable impact on the survival of patients with CC.[23]
PD-L1 in pancreatic cancer (PC)PD-L1 is a new prognostic factor for patients suffering from PC.[24]
PD-L1 in BCThe PD-L1 expression is an independent negative prognostic factor in human BC.[25]
PD-L1 in renal cell carcinoma (RCC)Soluble PD-L1 has been determined in the sera of patients suffering from RCC and may systemically impair host immunity. Furthermore, the survival rate of RCC patients (with B7-H1 tumors) is very low.[26, 27]
PD-L1 in non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC)In the case of surgically removed NSCLC, PD-L1 elevated expression was linked with the mutations in EGFR that independently predicted the survival outcomes for this carcinoma.[28]
PD-L1 in ovarian cancer (OC)PD-L1 expression on cancerous cells is an independent predictor of OC.[29]
PD-L1 in malignant melanoma (MM)Melanoma patients with an elevated expression of PD-L1 have a poorer survival rate.[30]
PD-L1 in esophageal cancer (EC)PD-L1 and PD-L2 could predict the survival outcomes of patients suffering from EC, paving the way for new immunotherapies that target the PD-1/PD-L cascade.[31]
PD-L1 in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC)The co-expression of PD-1/PD-L1 revealed the tumor microenvironment’s selective suppression of cytotoxic lymphocytes and predicted NPC recurrence and development post conventional treatments.[32]
