Test Details
PDL1 (Programmed Death-Ligand 1) is a protein found on the surface of certain cells in the body, including some cancer cells. It plays a crucial role in regulating the immune system by interacting with a protein called PD-1 on T cells. When PDL1 binds to PD-1, it sends a signal to the T cell to stop attacking the cell that has PDL1 on its surface.
This mechanism is exploited by cancer cells to evade the immune system and avoid destruction. To counter this, PDL1 inhibitors, a type of cancer immunotherapy, are used. These inhibitors block the interaction between PDL1 and PD-1, enabling T cells to recognize and attack cancer cells.
PDL1 inhibitors have been approved for the treatment of various types of cancer, such as melanoma, lung cancer, bladder cancer, and kidney cancer. However, it is important to note that not all patients respond to PDL1 inhibitors, and researchers are actively working to understand why some tumors are resistant to this type of therapy.
