Abstract
The most frequent of malignant tumor cites of the oral mucosa are tongue - 55 %, mucosa of the cheek - 12 %, the fundus of the oral cavity - 10 %, the alveolar process of the upper jaw and the hard palate - 9 %, the alveolar process of the lower jaw - 6 %, the soft palate - 2 %. Malignant tumor cells carry PD-L1 ligands on their surface and its expression level is often correlated with an unfavorable prognosis in particular for such tumors as melanoma, kidney cancer and non-small cell lung cancer. It is relevant to evaluate the correlation between overexpression of PD-L1 and overall survival in patients with malignant tumors of the oral mucosa.References
