This is a very interesting and important question.

Although we have no prospective data on vulvar cancer regarding this question, our treatments have invariably paralleled the cervix. PD-L1 expression is estimated to be ~50%. Similarly, in KEYNOTE-158, RR in PD-L1 + cervix cohort was 15%, while in t...
