The class-3 semaphorins (Sema3A-F, Sema3s) are initially identified to play an important role in axonal guidance and cell migration. Our previous studies showed that Sema3s are also involved in the lymph node metastasis of prostate cancer, and are likely to modulate the behavior of prostate cancer with a pro-tumoral or an anti-tumoral effect, depending on their subtypes. However, no study has critically investigated the value of Sema3s expression in preoperative biopsy samples for the prediction of biochemical recurrence (BCR) after radical prostatectomy. In this study, we evaluated Sema3s expression by immunohistochemistry on 198 prostate biopsies with low- and intermediate-risk localized prostate cancer. The median follow-up was 42 months (range, 6-60) for all patients. Our results showed that Sema3A (OR: 0.19, P
