Comparative analysis of IL-1β blood serum concentration, neutrophil-to-lymphocytes ratio in peripheral blood, and the levels of PD-L1 expression in malignant tissues of the patients with various solid tumors

The action of checkpoint inhibitors is based on activation of T cell antitumor immunity, and, therefore, the search for markers of lymphocyte functional activity before starting the therapy is highly relevant. Determination of the PD-L1 expression in tumor tissues reflects immunosuppressive activity...
