Although providing an average incidence of PD-L1 expression in our combined sarcoma cohort is not biologically relevant, in view of the different molecular signature of the different subytpes of soft tissue sarcomas[20, 23], PD-L1 was present in 13% of all cases in which was the protein essentially only identified in tumour cells and not in immune cells when assessed primarily on TMAs. Here, CD274 is linked to neoplasm.
