From: PD-L1+MDSCs are increased in HCC patients and induced by soluble factor in the tumor microenvironment

Figure 2

The levels of PD-L1+MDSCs were associated with a prognosis.

(a) The percentages of PD-L1+MDSCs were significantly reduced by curative treatment for HCC (n = 12, p < 0.05) (left panel). The percentages of PD-L1+MDSCs were also significantly reduced by curative treatment for HCC after the outlier with an extreme reduction of MDSCs frequency is omitted. (n = 11, p < 0.001) (right panel). (b) Patients with high levels of PD-L1+MDSCs had significantly shorter disease-free survival periods than those with low level (n55, p < 0.05).
