Despite the successful application of programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1)-blocking strategies in some types of cancers and well-established prognostic indicators in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), the biological and clinical implications of the methylation status of PD-L1/PD-L2 in PDAC remain largely unknown. Here, PDCD1LG2 is linked to cancer.
