A sub-group of mucinous ovarian cancers appear to demonstrate a pro-immunogenic tumor environment with high PD-L1 expression, decreased ARID1A expression, and characteristic tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte infiltration patterns. Further clinical validation of anti-PD-L1/PD-1 targeting in selected mucinous ovarian cancers appears promising.
