Popis: This study investigates the association of PD-L1 expression and immune cell infiltrates and their impact on clinical outcome, in addition to their overlap with microsatellite instability (MSI), HER2 and ATM molecular subgroups of gastric cancer (GC). PD-L1 membrane expression on tumour cells (TC) and infiltrating immune cells (IC), CD3 + T-lymphocytes, CD8+ cytotoxic T-cells, ATM and HER2 were assessed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in the ACRG (Asian Cancer Research Group) GC cohort (N = 380). EBV status was determined using in situ hybridization and MSI status was performed using PCR and MLH1 IHC. The PD-L1 segment was associated with increased T-cell infiltrates, while the MSI-high segment was enriched for PD-L1, CD3, and CD8. Multivariate analysis confirmed PD-L1 positivity, high CD3 and high CD8 as independent prognostic factors for both disease-free survival and overall survival (all p
