Popis: Abstract Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Although the role of tumor programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 (PD-L1) in suppressing antitumor immunity has been validated in various malignances, the impact of PD-L2 (PD-L2/PDCD1LG2) within tumors remains elusive. Here, we examined tumor PD-L2 expression by immunohistochemical analysis and assessed its association with clinicopathological characteristics and the infiltration of intratumoral T lymphocytes in colon carcinoma patients (n = 1264). We found that tumor PD-L2 status was correlated with perineural invasion (PNI) and associated with survival outcome in colon carcinoma patients. The level of tumor PD-L2 was positively associated with tumor PD-L1 expression but inversely associated with the density of CD8+ tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs). Patients with elevated tumor PD-L2 levels had a favorable 5-year overall survival (OS) compared to patients with low PD-L2 levels (57% vs 40%, p
