Abstract Background Programmed death ligand‐1 (PD‐L1) has a known association with the prognosis of human cancers because of its ability to alter tumor immune surveillance via its interaction with PD‐1. We questioned whether expression of PD‐L1 in tumor cells could directly promote tumor growth and...
