How this finding appears in a report

The TPS score is reported along with the antibody and platform used by the laboratory.

When therapy stops working

Changes in scores after therapy may occur so re-examination is sometimes considered.

What needs verification

  • Complete variant name as written in the laboratory report.
  • Examination methods and types of samples used.
  • Examination dates were compared with ongoing therapy.

Marker context: PD-L1

PD-L1 scores are reported to differ according to cancer type: TPS (tumor proportion score) in lung cancer, CPS (combined positive score) in gastric cancer. Rates from one type of cancer cannot be transferred to another type of cancer.

A negative result does not always mean absent

Test sensitivity differs by sample type and method. Results need to be read together with the pathology report and clinical condition.
