A retrospective cohort analysis aimed to evaluate the prognostic impact of PD-L1 and Tumor Proportion Score in NM NPC patients from a NER.

Abstract

Nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) is highly treatment-sensitive, yet distant metastasis remains a challenge. Data on adjuvan therapy needs in non-metastatic (NM) cases from non-endemic regions (NERs) are limited. This retrospective cohort analysis aimed to evaluate the prognostic impact of PD-L1 and Tumor Proportion Score (TPS) in NM NPC patients from a NER.
