Prognostic and survival rates can be improved by chemotherapy for some patients with advanced NSCLC, but more obvious adverse reactions can also occur.<br><br>The combination therapy, however, is superior to single chemotherapy and has the advantages of high safety and small side effects.<br><br>In recent years, with the role of immune mechanism in tumor occurrence and development has been constantly clarified, the target of new immunotherapy has gradually become clear.<br><br>Some studies have suggested that in the course of tumor occurrence and progression, cellular immunodeficiency may cause tumor cells to avoid the immune system and then escape, leading to the reduction or even disappearance of the effect of anti-tumor drug therapy.<br><br>Currently, targeted and immunologic drugs are recommended by a growing number of lung cancer guidelines for the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer for the benefit of patients.<br><br>Unlike targeted drugs, which directly attack tumor cell targets, immunotherapy aims to regulate the patient's autoimmune status in order to remove tumor cells.<br><br>PD-1 is expressed mainly on the surface of immune cells, while PDL-1 is expressed mainly on the surface of tumor cells, and when combined, the two lead to immune escape of tumor cells by activating the signaling pathway within immune cells. He et al.'s research suggests that PD-1 has the effect of suppressing cellular immunity, and that blocking by PD-1/PD-L1 can increase the lethal effect of TIL.<br><br>Whether PD-L1 is positive in tumor micro-environment can be used as a judgment index of immunotherapy effect.
