Immunohistochemical evaluation of two antibodies against PD-L1 and prognostic significance of PD-L1 expression in epithelioid peritoneal malignant mesothelioma: A RENAPE study

Background Epithelioid peritoneal malignant mesothelioma (EPMM) is the most common subtype of this aggressive tumor. We compared two antibodies against PD-L1, a recent theranostic biomarker, and evaluated the prognostic value of PD-L1 expression by mesothelial and immune cells in EPMM. Methods Immunohistochemistry was performed on 45 EPMM. Clinical and pathological data were extracted from the RENAPE database. Using E1L3N and SP142 clones,...
