Abstract
Neoadjuvant RCT is associated with an increased PD-L1 expression in rectal adenocarcinoma patients, which should prompt clinical trials combining radiotherapy and PD-1/PD-L1 pathway blockade. Combined low PD-L1 expression on tumour and inflammatory cells is an independent negative prognostic marker for OS in RCT of rectal adenocarcinoma.
