Wook,

Apparently you can go to Quest diagnostics for the test.

This is the FDA statement regarding the test:

While patients who received Opdivo lived longer than those who received docetaxel across the study, an evaluation of samples from a subgroup of patients’ tumors suggests that the level of PD-L1 expression in NSCLC tumors may help identify patients who are more likely to live longer due to treatment with Opdivo. Therefore, today the FDA also approved the PD-L1 IHC 28-8 pharmDx test to detect PD-L1 protein expression levels and help physicians determine which patients may benefit most from treatment with Opdivo.

Just in case my message missed the mark it was meant to be tongue in cheek.
