Immunotyping in tubo-ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma by PD-L1 and CD8+T-lymphocytes predicts disease-free survival

Akriti Bansal et al.

Summary: In this study, the expression of PD-L1 immune checkpoint inhibitor in high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC) ovary was evaluated, revealing a linear correlation with CD4+ and CD8+ TIL levels. Higher PD-L1 expression was observed in patients who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy, suggesting a potential association with adaptive immune evasion.

Clinical and Prognostic Value of Antigen-Presenting Cells with PD-L1/PD-L2 Expression in Ovarian Cancer Patients

Anna Pawlowska et al.

Summary: The study highlights the significant role of the PD-1/PD-L1/PD-L2 axis in ovarian cancer pathogenesis, with a focus on the clinical importance of PD-L1/PD-L2 expression in the OC environment. Elevated levels of sPD-L1 in peritoneal fluid were found to be associated with shorter survival in OC patients, indicating a potential hallmark of immune regulation in this disease.

Differential expression of PD-L1 between primary and metastatic epithelial ovarian cancer and its clinico-pathological correlation

Sandeep Kumar Parvathareddy et al.

Summary: This study found significant differences in PD-L1 expression between primary epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) and peritoneal metastasis, with the latter being associated with adverse prognostic factors. The findings suggest that assessment of PD-L1 as a potential biomarker for predicting response to anti-PD-L1 therapy may require analysis of metastatic lesions.

Predictive Values of Programmed Cell Death-Ligand 1 Expression for Prognosis, Clinicopathological Factors, and Response to Programmed Cell Death-1/Programmed Cell Death-Ligand 1 Inhibitors in Patients With Gynecological Cancers: A Meta-Analysis

Chen Zhang et al.

Summary: Our meta-analysis of 55 studies found that high PD-L1 expression is not significantly associated with overall survival, progression-free survival, recurrence-free survival, cancer-specific survival, and disease-free survival in gynecological cancers. However, subgroup analysis revealed that high PD-L1 expression may be correlated with a shorter overall survival in some cases. Additionally, PD-L1 positivity was associated with certain clinical parameters and could potentially predict response to anti-PD-1/PD-L1 treatment.

PD-L1 Expression on Circulating Tumour-Derived Microvesicles as a Complementary Tool for Stratification of High-Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer Patients

Alessandra Battaglia et al.

Summary: PD-1/PD-L1 axis blockade immunotherapy relies on assessing tumour PD-L1 status, but spatial heterogeneity may impact predictive value. This study identified PD-L1+ circulating tumor-derived microvesicles in high grade serous ovarian cancer patients for the first time, suggesting a novel approach for patient stratification in immunotherapy.

PD-1 and PD-L1 expression on TILs in peritoneal metastases compared to ovarian tumor tissues and its associations with clinical outcome

Christine Bekos et al.

Summary: This study examined the infiltration rates of PD-1 and PD-L1 expressing tumor infiltrating leucocytes in primary ovarian tumor tissue and metastatic intraperitoneal implants, and found that high PD-1 expression among TILs in peritoneal metastases was associated with favorable overall survival, while high PD-L1 expression in TILs was linked to poor overall survival. Combining both factors in peritoneal metastases revealed an unfavorable prognosis. Primary ovarian tumor tissue and intraperitoneal metastatic tissues in EOC may have different immune evasion strategies. These findings are crucial for predicting patients' response to immunotherapy through biomarker assessment.

Ovarian Cancer in the Era of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors: State of the Art and Future Perspectives

Brigida Anna Maiorano et al.

Summary: Ovarian cancer (OC) is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women, with high recurrence rates in the advanced disease setting. Clinical trials of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in OC have shown poor outcomes in terms of patient response and survival, leading to early termination of some studies. Combining ICIs with other drugs targeting different pathways may enhance efficacy, and the search for predictive biomarkers for ICIs response is crucial for patient selection.

Programmed death ligand-1 and CD8 tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) as prognostic predictors in ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC)

Mayada Saad Farrag et al.

Summary: The study investigated the expression of PD-L1 and CD8 TILs in ovarian HGSC through immunohistochemistry, and the results were correlated with patient prognosis. Expression of PD-L1 was associated with CD8 TILs expression and was significantly linked to disease-free survival, suggesting a potential therapeutic target for patients with ovarian HGSC.

Enhanced Efficacy of Simultaneous PD-1 and PD-L1 Immune Checkpoint Blockade in High-Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer

Changxin Wan et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that the efficacy of immune therapies in high-grade serous ovarian cancer is driven by inducing state changes in NK cells and specific subsets of T cells. The results suggest that immune therapies, such as BRD1 inhibitors, capable of inducing such cellular state changes may have increased effectiveness in treating HGSC.
