PD-L1 Positive Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Esophagus

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) represents a predominant histological subtype of esophageal cancer, particularly in high-incidence regions across Asia and parts of Africa. It arises from the squamous epithelial lining and is frequently associated with tobacco use, alcohol consumption, dietary factors, and chronic esophageal irritation. The Role of PD-L1 in ESCC Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1)
