The prognostic significance of PD-L1 expression in patients with glioma: A meta-analysis

Abstract A large number of studies have shown that programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) is abnormally expressed in gliomas. However, the prognostic significance of PD-L1 expression in glioma patients remains unresolved. Accordingly, we conducted a meta-analysis to determine the prognostic role of high...
