CD44, a marker of cancer stem cells, is positively correlated with PD-L1 expression and immune cells infiltration in lung adenocarcinoma
Abstract Background PD-L1 inhibitors is widely applied in lung adenocarcinoma patients. Tumor cells with high PD-L1 expression could trigger immune evasion. Cancer stem cells (CSCs) can evade from immunesurveillance due to their immunomodulating effects. However, the correlation between CSC and PD-L...
