Ordering Guidance
In patients with specific tumor types, programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) immunohistochemistry (IHC) is indicated to predict response to treatment with PD-L1 inhibitors. The specific PD-L1 clone, scoring method, and eligibility requirements depend on the tumor type, stage of malignancy, previous treatment outcomes, and specific PD-L1 inhibitor under consideration. For assistance with PD-L1 test selection as well as answers to frequently asked questions, see PD-L1 Immunohistochemistry Testing on MayoClinicLabs.com.
