Abstract
OBJECTIVES: Previous studies noted discordance of programmed death-1 (PD-1) and one of its ligands (PD-L1) across patient-matched primary and metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). There are inconsistencies if the primary or metastatic tumor has higher expression, and whether metastatic tumor expression is associated with patient outcome. Thus, we examined PD-1 and PD-L1 in patient-matched tumors using a large number of ccRCC patients with long follow-up.Entities:

Figure 3(A) PD‐1 IHC staining was performed on longitudinal metastatic tumors from 36 patients. PD‐1 staining is denoted as blue 0 = absent, red 1 = focal, green 2 = moderate, and purple 3 = marked. (B) PD‐L1 staining was performed on longitudinal metastatic tumors from 36 patients. Blue denotes PD‐L1 staining is absent and red denotes PD‐L1 staining is present. Symbols denote the metastatic location
