Abstract | Background: Combination of immunotherapy and chemotherapy is recommended for first line treatment of gastric adenocarcinoma (GC) patients with locally advanced unresectable disease or metastatic disease. However, data regarding the concordance rate between PD-L1 combined positive score (CPS) in primary GC and matched regional lymph node metastasis (LNmet) or matched distant metastasis (Dmet) is limited. Methods: Tissue microarray sections from primary resected GC, LNmet and Dmet were immunohistochemically stained with anti-PD-L1 (clone SP263). PD-L1 expression was scored separately in tumour cells and immune cells and compared between matched primary GC, LNmet and/or Dmet. CPS was calculated and results for CPS cut-offs 1 and 5 were compared between matched samples. Results: 275 PD-L1 stained GC were analysed. 189 primary GC had matched LNmet. CPS cut-off 1 concordance rate between primary GC and LNmet was 77%. 23 primary GC had matched Dmet but no matched LNmet, CPS cut-off 1 concordance rate was 70%. 63 primary GC had both matched LNmet and matched Dmet, CPS cut-off 1 concordance rate of 67%. CPS cut-off 5 results were similar. The proportion of PD-L1 positive tumour cells increased from primary GC (26%) to LNmet (42%) and was highest in Dmet (75%). Conclusion: Our study showed up to 33% discordance of PD-L1 CPS between primary GC and LNmet and/or Dmet suggesting that multiple biopsies of primary GC and metastatic sites might need to be tested before considering treatment options. Moreover, this is the first study that seems to suggest that tumour cells acquire PD-L1 expression during disease progression. |
