Additionally, when PD-L1 expression ≥1% was defined as positive, anti-PD-1/PD-L1 monotherapy correlated with prolonged overall survival in patients with nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (0.72, 0.61 to 0.86) and other cancer types (0.66, 0.57 to 0.76) patients with PD-L1 positive, rather than those with PD-L1 negative (hazard ratio for NSCLC and other cancer types: 0.84 and 0.87, respectively; all P > 0.05). The gene discussed is PDCD1; the disease is lung cancer.
