Differential expression of PD-L1 between primary and metastatic epithelial ovarian cancer and its clinico-pathological correlation

Abstract Ovarian cancer (OC) is one of the most common gynecologic cancer, which has the worst prognosis and highest mortality rate. The lack of curative treatment and the high relapse rate, especially in advanced OC, continues to present a clinical challenge, highlighting the need for new therapeut...
