Immunohistochemical programmed death‐ligand 1 (PD‐L1) staining to predict responsiveness to immunotherapy in patients with advanced non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has several drawbacks: a robust gold standard is lacking, and there is substantial interobserver and intraobserver variance, with up to 20% discordance around cutoff points. The gene discussed is CD274; the disease is non-small cell lung carcinoma.
