Notes

Cross-disease relevance — checkpoint inhibitor response marker: - **Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma**: 9p24 amplification → universal PD-L1 over-expression → dramatic response to nivolumab / pembrolizumab (~70% ORR in r/r). Approved for r/r cHL after autoSCT + brentuximab failure. - **Primary Mediastinal Large B-Cell Lymphoma (PMBCL)**: similar 9p24 + universal PD-L1 → checkpoint-responsive. Pembrolizumab approved r/r PMBCL. - **EBV+ neoplasms** (EBV+ DLBCL elderly, NK/T, PTLD): variable PD-L1 + checkpoint-response in subset. - **Mediastinal Gray Zone Lymphoma**: PD-L1+ subset. - Most other DLBCL / NHL: PD-L1 expression variable, response rates lower; not standard. Algorithm impact: future 2L+ pembrolizumab/nivolumab routing for cHL r/r post-autoSCT. PMBCL future scope (Tier 2 disease).
