Shorter Mesothelioma Survival Linked to Higher PD-L1 Levels

Shorter Mesothelioma Survival Linked to Higher PD-L1 Levels Patients with the rarest Shorter Mesothelioma Survival tend to experience shorter survival. Now, especially with sarcomatoid or subtypes. Programmed death 1 (PD-L1) is one the proteins that helps cells other cancers from the immune system. that tumor is more to go undetected.   This to worse treatment outcomes shorter survival. The French study included 214 with malignant pleural. Malignant biphasic mesothelioma is the second most common cell type of the disease. Like all other cell types of mesothelioma, asbestos exposure is the leading cause of the disease. The life expectancy of patients with this form of cancer varies because prognosis depends on the ratio of epithelial and sarcomatoid cells. The larger the percentage of sarcomatoid cells, the poorer the prognosis. This cell type is more common among pleural patients than peritoneal patients. biphasic mesothelioma survival Understanding the characteristi...
