Objectives: To investigate the association between Ki67 index and programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression in muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) patients after RC.Materials and Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 262 MIBC patients treated with RC between April 2004 and April 2020. The impact of Ki67 index and PD-L1 expression on prognosis was evaluated by univariate Cox regression analysis. In addition, a pathomolecular risk score, including Ki67 and PD-L1, was developed to predict prognosis and pathological factors. We also evaluated the link between the Ki67 index and PD-L1 under the IL-6 stimulation in the bladder cancer cell lines of T24 and 5637 cells.Results: The median age and follow-up period was 69 years and 52 months, respectively. Ki67 index and PD-L1 expression were significantly associated with tumor recurrence. Univariate Cox regression analysis showed that pT3-4, mixed histology, lymphovascular invasion positive (LVI+), pN+, Ki67-high (> 17%), and PD-L1+ were significantly associated with recurrence-free survival (RFS). The pathomolecular risk score was developed using resection margin+ (1 point), mixed histology (1 point), LVI+ (1 point), pN+ (1 point), and Ki67-high (1 point). RFS and overall survival were significantly shorter in patients with higher pathomolecular risk scores (> 1) than in those with lower risk scores (
