1902). studied medicine at Berlin

anatomy.

• In 1847 he established the Archives for

Pathological Anatomy, Physiology &

• In 1855-1856 he published his major

work 'Collected Essays for Scientific

Cancer Immunotherapy and the Role

of Pathologist in Immuno-Oncology

Tumor antigens on the cell membrane of

cancer cells are recognized by the

immune cells.

Multiple antibody therapies are approved

to treat a wide range of cancers.

Immune checkpoints can be stimulatory or

inhibitory. Tumors can use these

checkpoints to protect themselves from

immune system attacks

85

Jaroslava Duško

Testing Lung Cancer for PD-L1 (Programmed Death-1 Ligand)

The interaction of PD-L1 on the tumor

cells with PD-1 on a T-cell reduces T-cell

function signals to prevent the immune

system from attacking the tumor cells

PD-1 inhibitors (Nivolumab, Pembrolizumab)

and PD-L1 inhibitors increase the T- cell

ability to destroy cancer cells

The Role of Pathologist in Immuno-oncology

For certain

types/stages

of cancer, knowing

PD-L1 expression

may help identify

patients that will

benefit most from

immune checkpoint

blockade.
