Objectives:
Inflammatory breast carcinoma (IBC) is rare but is the most lethal type of breast cancer. Programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression in IBCs has been understudied.
Methods:
In this study, tissue microarrays of 68 IBCs were immunostained with a PD-L1 antibody using an antibody clone (28-8) and detection system approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for selecting patients with non-small cell lung cancer and melanoma for anti-PD-L1 therapy.
Results:
Positive PD-L1 expression was found in 25 (36.8%) of 68 samples but was not significantly associated with the clinicopathologic variables examined. Univariate analysis of overall survival (OS) revealed that worse OS was significantly associated with positive PD-L1, negative estrogen receptor, and triple-negative status. The 5-year OS rate was 36.4% for patients with PD-L1-positive IBC and 47.3% for those with PD-L1-negative IBC. In multivariate analyses, PD-L1 status remained a statistically independent predictor of OS.
Conclusions:
These findings indicate that PD-L1 inhibitors could potentially improve the clinical outcome of patients with PD-L1-positive IBC.

02:40Ligand Binding Sites
Protein-ligand interactions are quite specific; even though numerous potential ligands surround a cellular protein at any given time, only a particular ligand can bind to that protein. Moreover, a ligand binds only to a dedicated area on the surface of the protein, known as the...
