*It is, however, more complex than that. Some tumour types are invariably positive, e.g. classical Hodgkin lymphoma, so testing is unhelpful. In contrast, tumors such as malignant melanoma respond regardless of PD-L1 immunoexpression. | *It is, however, more complex than that.

*The plethora of companion diagnostics developed for each PD-1/ PD-L1 inhibitor has created challenges, as these assays include different IHC antibody clones, staining protocols and platforms, scoring systems, and cutoffs for defining positivity. | *The plethora of companion diagnostics developed for each PD-1/ PD-L1 inhibitor has created challenges, as these assays include different IHC antibody clones, staining protocols and platforms, scoring systems, and cutoffs for defining positivity. | ||
