Several studies have reported high HBV load as a risk factor for HBV reactivation and hepatic impairment during anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy [24, 25], while other reports demonstrated that PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors can be safe and effective in cancer patients with either chronic HBV or HCV infection [26, 27]. The gene discussed is CD274; the disease is cancer.
