      Background:
      The immune microenvironment of locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has not been systematically studied. Our aim was to determine the prognostic value of immunological biomarkers expression in a cohort of patients (pts) in this clinical setting.

      Method:
      We retrospectively reviewed 46 bronchial biopsies from locally advanced NSCLC. Pts were treated between 2010 and 2014 with concurrent chemo-radiotherapy (cCRT) at the Catalan Institute of Oncology. The following immunological markers were assessed by immunohistochemistry: PD-L1, ≥5% membrane expression on tumor cells was considered positive (+); HLA-Class I expression was classified into 0,1+,2+ according to membrane intensity; CD8+ tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (CD8 TILs) classified into low ≤5% or high >5% intratumoral infiltration. Chi-square test for assessing correlation and survival analysis by Kaplan-Meier method were used.

      Result:
      From 46 pts: Median age was 65 (43-81); gender: male 94%, female 6%; ECOG≤1 96%; smoking status: current 67%, former 30%, never 3%; histology: squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) 63%, adenocarcinoma (ADC) 24%, NSCLC (NOS+large cell) 13%; cN0-1 30%, cN2 57%, cN3 13%. Platinum doublet CT: Cisplatin 57%, Carboplatin 43%. PD-L1 was positive in 38% of cases and was positively correlated with HLA-I expression (p= 0.015) and CD8-TILs (p= 0.008). No correlations between PD-L1/CD8 TILs status and G3-4 radio-induced toxicities (pneumonitis, esophagitis) were found. At a median follow-up of 48 months (m), 53% of pts had relapsed. According to immune phenotype, median overall survival (mOS) was 20m (PD-L1 +, CD8 high; n=10) vs 17 m (PDL1 negative, CD8 low; n=19) vs not reached (PD-L1 negative, CD8 high; n=5) (p=0.23). Considering CD8 TILs, mOS in high CD8 (n=15) was 35m vs 18 m in low CD8 (n=26) (p=0.22).

      Conclusion:
      PD-L1, HLA-I and TILs CD8 expression was positively correlated. The potential role of TILs CD8+ as a prognostic biomarker in this cohort of pts that comprised mostly SCC histology, is promising. These results should be investigated in a larger cohort.
