PD-L1 Quantitative by IHC
Also known as: PD-L1 Non-specific
Use
PD-L1 overexpression is associated with adverse prognosis in solid tumors, though specific prognosis varies among different tumor types. The utility of this PD-L1 (22C3) assay in predicting the response to therapy has not been determined for all tumor types, and standardized scoring methods do not exist for all tumor types.
Special Instructions
This test number is used for tracking oncology IHC specimens to the laboratory. Bill codes are added post-testing based on laboratory processes.
Limitations
The test was developed and its performance characteristics determined by Labcorp. It has not been cleared or approved by the FDA. The utility of the PD-L1 (22C3) assay in predicting response to therapy across different tumor types is not fully determined, and standardized scoring methods do not exist for all types.
