Abstract：【Objective】 To investigate the expression and clinical significance of programmed death protein-1 (PD-1) and its ligand (PD-L1) in laryngeal carcinoma. 【Methods】Immunohistochemical SP method was used to detect the expression of PD-1 and PD-L1 in 60 cases of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma and 33 cases of adjacent tissues, and the relationship between their expression and clinicopathological features and prognosis of laryngeal cancer patients was analyzed. 【Results】 PD-1 and The positive expression rate of PD-L1 was significantly higher than that of adjacent tissues (P<0.05). The positive expression of PD-1 and PD-L1 were related to regional lymph node metastasis, depth and scope of invasion and clinical stage (all P<0.05). The positive expression of PD-L1 was also related to the degree of tumor differentiation (P<0.05). Logrank test showed that there was no significant difference in the mean survival time between PD-1 negative and positive patients(χ2 = 3.065,P=0.089); There was significant difference in the mean survival time between patients with negative and positive expression of PD-L1(χ2=9.002,P=0.003). Cox multivariate analysis showed that PD-L1 was an independent factor affecting the poor prognosis of patients with laryngeal cancer (HR=0.135, 95%CI:0.024~0.756,P=0.023). 【Conclusion】 The positive expression rate of PD-1 and PD-L1 in laryngeal cancer is significantly increased, which is related to the occurrence and development of tumor, and the positive expression of PD-L1 is related to the poor prognosis of patients after operation.
