Artificial Intelligence-Assisted Score Analysis for Predicting the Expression of the Immunotherapy Biomarker PD-L1 in Lung Cancer

ABSTRACT: Programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) is a critical biomarker for predicting the response to immunotherapy. However, traditional quantitative evaluation of PD-L1 expression using immunohistochemistry staining remains challenging for pathologists. Here we developed a deep learning (DL)-based artificial intelligence (AI) model to automatically analyze the immunohistochemical expression of PD-L1 in lung cancer patients. A total of 1,288 patients with lung cancer were included in the study. The diagnostic ability of three different AI models (M1, M2, and M3) was assessed in both PD-L1 (22C3) and PD-L1 (SP263) assays. M2 and M3 showed improved performance in the evaluation of PD-L1 expression in the PD-L1 (22C3) assay, especially at 1% cutoff. Highly accurate performance in the PD-L1 (SP263) w
