Objectives: Compared with non-smoking counterparts, smoking-associated lung cancers have a higher mutational load, resulting in the creation of more tumor neoantigens and increased immunogenicity. B7-H3 (also known as CD276) belongs to a family of immune modulators that includes PD-1 and PD-L1 (also known as B7-H1 or CD274). Considering the evidence that PD-L1 inhibitors have been shown to be more effective against lung cancer in smokers, we herein examined the prognostic interaction of tumor B7-H3 expression level with smoking history in lung adenocarcinoma patients.Materials and methods: Using tissue microarrays comprising 270 consecutive cases of lung adenocarcinoma, we evaluated tumor B7-H3 expression by immunohistochemistry. We examined the prognostic association between B7-H3 expression levels and smoking history, using Cox proportional hazards regression analysis and the log-rank test. Additionally, we used logistic regression analysis to examine the correlations between B7-H3 expression levels and clinicopathological/molecular features of lung adenocarcinoma.Results: The association of B7-H3 expression with survival differed by smoking history (P-interaction = 0.014); high B7-H3 expression was associated with decreased lung cancer-specific survival in moderate/heavysmoking patients (smoking index [SI] >= 400) (hazard ratio [HR] = 3.07, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.74-5.49, P=0.0001; log-rank: P
