PD-L1 protein expression in gastric/GEJ, cervical, SCCHN, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, and urothelial carcinomas is determined by the Combined Positive Score (CPS), which is defined as the percentage of PD-L1-positive tumor and immune cells relative to the total number of tumor cells. This evidence concerns the gene CD274 and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
