Prognostic impact of nectin-like molecule-5 (CD155) expression in non-small cell lung cancer.

Background: CD155 is a transmembrane protein that inhibits antitumor immune response and represents a predictor of worse prognosis in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, it remains unexplored its association with clinical characteristics and genomic status of Latin American patients. This study characterizes the CD155 expression and its clinical implications in this population.

Association of Lung Adenocarcinoma Subtypes According to the IASLC/ATS/ERS Classification and Programmed Cell Death Ligand 1 (PD-L1) Expression in Tumor Cells.

Programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) protein expression is one of the most extensively studied biomarkers in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, there is scarce information regarding its association with distinct adenocarcinoma subtypes. This study evaluated the frequency of PD-L1 expression according to the IASLC/ATS/ERS classification and other relevant histological and clinical features.
