Core Tip This Opinion Review emphasizes the stage- and context-dependent interpretation of PD-L1 in gastric cancer (GC). We summarize current advances in PD-L1 assessment—including combined positive score, spatial profiling, and multi-omics integration—and discuss how tumor stage, immune microenvironment, and T-cell functionality influence its prognostic and predictive value. The review provides a framework for integrating PD-L1 into perioperative immunotherapy, highlighting adaptive, biomarker-guided strategies to optimize patient selection and therapeutic outcomes. By bridging molecular insights with personalized treatment, this work offers practical guidance for both clinicians and researchers in precision GC management.
