PD-L1 expression and CD8+ infiltration shows heterogeneity in Juvenile Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis

Tumor immunotherapy have broadened therapeutic options for tumor treatment. The role of immune function in juvenile recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (JRRP) has not been investigated. Applying immunoblockade inhibitors as a novel disease treatment is unclear. Our study, for the first time, evaluates immune infiltration and immuno-suppressive molecule expression in JRRP. Our study provides insights in possibly treating this disease with tumor immunotherapies. We aimed to determine expression of programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), a cancer escape protein, and presence of CD8+ T cell infiltration in tumor microenvironment.
