Impact of PD-L1 expression on the efficacy of first-line crizotinib in advanced ROS1-rearranged NSCLC

The predictive value of programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression for the efficacy of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in patients with advanced ROS1-rearranged non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains underexplored. This study analyzed patients with advanced NSCLC harboring ROS1 rearrangements who received first-line crizotinib to evaluate the correlation between baseline PD-L1 expression and crizotinib efficacy.
