Prognostic relevance of programmed cell death 1 ligand 2 (PDCD1LG2/PD-L2) in patients with advanced stage colon carcinoma treated with chemotherapy
Abstract Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Although the role of tumor programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 (PD-L1) in suppressing antitumor immunity has been validated in various malignances, the impact of PD-L2 (PD-L2/PDCD1LG2) within tumors remains elu...
