The Role of M1 and M2 Macrophages in Prostate Cancer in relation to Extracapsular Tumor Extension and Biochemical Recurrence after Radical Prostatectomy
Figure 2
Biochemical recurrence (BCR) free survival curves at the Kaplan-Meier analysis of our 93 patients study population based on median number of macrophages. The blue line represents BCR free survival curve of patients with low density of macrophages M1 and M2 in three hot spots (n° of macrophages < median number), while the red line represents those with high density of M1 and M2 in three hot spots (>median number). BCR free survival rates at 36 and 60 months were 94.4 versus 74.0 and 85.1 versus 62.2, respectively, .
