PD-L1 expression in extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.

Only a small number of eCCA patients are PD-L1-positive, which might be important for future application of PD-1/PD-L1-targeted immune-modulating therapy in these patients. A small subgroup of eCCAs with PD-L1 expression and low lymphocytic infiltration showed more invasive growth and worse overall survival.
