Özet

Objectives: Programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) is the most important immune checkpoint protein in immune defense against tumors. PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors are considered an option in cancer treatments. The evaluation of PD-L1 immunohistochemical staining is used as a biomarker to determine the decision and response of the use ofthese inhibitory drugs. There is a wide variety of clones and platforms for the PD-L1 antibody, and each pathology department uses different clones and platforms which causes confusion. Therefore, in this study, we evaluated the immunohistochemical staining of different clones in the same tumor.
