Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are revolutionizing the management of NSCLC, but little is known about their impact on thrombosis. This study aims to define the incidence and clinical relevance of VTEs in NSCLC patients receiving these treatments.

Background: No study has evaluated the predictive and prognostic role of CD8 and PD-L1 coexpression in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Methods: We analyzed RNA sequencing and/or immunohistochemistry staining in NSCLC patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas (n = 1016), and 34 metastatic NSCLC samples not treated by immunotherapy as prognostic cohorts. As predictive aspect of CD8 and PD-L1, we used 85 NSCLC patients treated with anti-PD-1.
