PD-L1 Expression is Increased in Metastasizing Squamous Cell Carcinomas and Their Metastases

Abstract: Programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression by tumor cells plays an important role in the inhibition of T cell–mediated immune response in cancer. PD-L1 expression by tumor cells has been linked to poor prognosis in a wide variety of cancers. However, PD-L1 expression in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) has been scarcely studied, and its role as a prognosis biomarker remains controversial. The association of PD-L1 expression and the metastatic risk in a series of cSCC was assessed. PD-L1 and CD8 immunostainings of full excision sections of 99 primary tumors and 24 lymphatic metastases were semiquantitatively evaluated. Primary cSCCs were grouped according to the development of lymphatic metastatic spread [metastasizing squamous cell carcinoma (MSCC)] (n = 48) or the absence of progression [nonmetastasizing squamous cell carcinoma (NMSCC)] (n = 51). PD-L1–positive expression (cut off ≥1%) was found in 26% NMSCCs and in 50% MSCCs (P = 0.02). PD-L1 association with an increased metastatic risk was confirmed in the multivariate analysis (P
