Further, the tumor cell surface expression of immune-activating (OX40L, CD137L, CD70, and ICOSL) and immune-suppressive (PD-L1, PD-L2, HVEM) checkpoint molecules and of an oncogenic molecule (EGFR) were measured via multicolor flow cytometry after CT and RT alone or after RCT. The gene discussed is EGFR; the disease is neoplasm.
