- Significant advancements in immunotherapy for lung cancer focus on the role of PD-L1 and PD-1 proteins, which contribute to immune system suppression in tumor environments.
- In a study of 37 patients with nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and a control group of 15 healthy individuals, serum levels of sPD-1 and sPD-L1 were significantly higher in NSCLC patients, and these levels decreased after surgical resection.
- Positive correlations were observed between serum levels of sPD-1 and sPD-L1 with tumor size and certain cancer characteristics, like pleural invasion and lymph node involvement, indicating potential clinical significance in monitoring these biomarkers.
