Abstract:
We investigated the effect of preoperative therapy for non-small cell lung cancer on programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), programmed death-1 (PD-1), poliovirus receptor (CD155), and T cell immunoglobulin and immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM) domain (TIGIT) expression and prognosis with the cases of 28 patients received preoperative concurrent chemo-radiotherapy (cCRT) and 27 received preoperative drug therapy. The post-treatment PD-L1 expression was higher in cCRT group than in the drug therapy (50.0% vs 5.0%, p = 0.000), whereas that of CD155 did not significantly differ (40.0% vs 60.0%, p = 0.131). The PD-1 expression was not significantly different between the cCRT and drug therapy groups (51.1% vs 42.9%, p = 0.076), while the TIGIT was significantly higher in the cCRT group (41.5% vs 34.0%, p = 0.008). The patients who received cCRT resulted in elevated PD-L1and TIGIT values had a worse prognosis ( p = 0.008). The PD-L1 and TIGIT expression after cCRT was significantly higher than after drug treatment. The cCRT population with high expression of both had a significantly poorer prognosis, indicating elevation of PD-L1 and TIGIT after cCRT as a negative prognostic factor. Combination therapy with anti-PD-L1 and anti-TIGIT antibodies after cCRT may contribute to an improved prognosis.
