Abstract

Purpose: There are conflicting results in the literature about the relationship between PD-1/PD-L1 expression and prognosis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The purpose of this study was to identify the relationship between NSCLC patients' clinicopathologic characteristics and PD-1/PD-L1 expression.
