| Abstract |
:
The synergistic effect of combining immune checkpoint inhibitors with radiotherapy was reported recently, but there are few studies on programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression in rectal cancer treated by preoperative chemoradiotherapy (CRT). The aim of the present study was to investigate the PD-L1 expression status before and after CRT and its association with clinicopathological characteristics and recurrence in rectal cancer. |
