Clinicopathological Features of Thymoma with the Expression of Programmed Death-Ligand 1

ConclusionsA strong expression of PD-L1 in thymoma was significantly associated with type B2 and B3 and higher pathological stages. In addition, PD-L1 positivity was associated with an increased SUVmax of the tumor. However, patients with PD-L1-positive thymomas did not show a significantly worse prognosis than those with PD-L1-negative tumors.
