Figure 2 Kaplan–Meier survival analysis of associations between programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression and progression-free survival (PFS) among patients with NSCLC. (A), Overall patient population. (B) Patients with exon 19 deletion. (C) Patients with the L858R mutation. Patients were divided into three groups by PD-L1 expression: TC3/IC3, TC1-2/IC1-2, and TC0/IC0. HR, hazard ratio; CI, confidence interval.
