Notably, tumor cells of DLBCLs with PD-L1 expression but no PD-L1 gene alteration (PD-L1t+ PD-L1 GA−) had a higher proportion (%) of pSTAT3-positive tumor cells than the rest of the subset (PD-L1t− or PD-L1t+ PD-L1 GA+) (p = 0.033; Fig. 3a), and in comparison to both PD-L1t− subset (p = 0.053) and PD-L1t+ PD-L1 GA+ subset (p = 0.050) with marginal significance as well (Fig. 3b). This evidence concerns the gene CD274 and neoplasm.
