In treatment-naïve PaNED, higher SIS was correlated with lower PD-L1 CPS values, and strong synaptophysin expression was associated with poorer survival. Assessment of SIS in morphologically suspected neuroendocrine areas may provide additional prognostic information and help predict the PD-L1 response. Larger studies are required to validate these findings.
Tosun et al. (Sat,) studied this question.
