EP1.04-01 - Association of PD-L1 Expression with Lung Adenocarcinoma Containing Solid or Micropapillary Components (Now Available) (ID 1549)
08:00 - 18:00 | Author(s): Shinji Matsui
- Abstract
Background
The assessment of programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression by immunohistochemistry (IHC) is important to treat patients in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). However, little is known about the relationship between PD-L1 expression and high-grade components, such as solid components (SCs) and/or micropapillary components (MPCs), which show worse prognosis. Here, the aim of this study is to evaluate the association of the PD-L1 expression with LUAD containing high-grade components.
Method
The expression of PD-L1 protein in 39 surgically resected LUAD was evaluated by IHC analysis using the clone 22C3. PD-L1 tumor proportion score (TPS) were divided to three groups: TPS at least ≥50% was high expression, ≥1% was intermediate expression, and <1% was negative expression. We compared retrospectively the three groups and the percentage of high-grade components.
Result
PD-L1 high expression was seen in eight patients (20.5%), intermediate expression in 22 patients (56.4%), and negative expression in 9 patients (23.1%). Thirty five cases with at least ≥1% SCs and/or MPCs were identified. The mean of the percentage of high-grade components was 60% in high expression group, 22% in intermediate expression group, and 10% in negative expression group. The statistical significance was shown comparing the PD-L1 high expression with the intermediate expression group (p<0.013), and comparing the high expression and the negative expression group (p<0.002).
Conclusion
LUAD with many high-grade components showed the PD-L1 high expression. Therefore, PD-L1 IHC should be performed on sections including a high percentage of SCs and/or MPCs in evaluating its expression in surgical resected specimen.
