Association between immunotherapy biomarkers and glucose metabolism from F-18 FDG PET.

CONCLUSIONS: Texture parameters derived from PET, known to indicate glucose uptake distribution, were correlated with expression of PD-L1 mRNA but not with expression of PD-1, CTLA-4 and TMB. Thus, tumoral heterogeneity could be a surrogate marker for the identification of PD-L1 level in NSCLC. PMID: 32894535 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
