Background: Tumor -associated macrophages (TAMs) and microvessel density (MVD) play an essential role for tumor progression in prostate cancer (PCa). In this study, we evaluated the association between TAMs, the in fi ltration with tumor angiogenesis and the response to androgen deprivation therapies (ADTs) in PCa to evaluate TAM in fi ltration as a predictive factor for PCa survival. Materials and methods: Fifty-four specimens were collected and stained with CD 68 antibody to investigated TAM in fi ltration in tumor. Von Willebrand factor was stained to evaluate MVD around the cancer foci. We assessed the association between patient's age, preoperative serum prostate -speci fi c antigen, pathologic Gleason sum (GS), TAM in fi ltration, MVD, and the response to ADT for 5 years after PCa diagnosis. Results: The median TAM was observed in 28 (6-76)/high power fi eld (x400). Increasing TAM correlated with increasing tumor angiogenesis ( P < 0.001, r = 0.61), and the response to ADT was signi fi cantly better in patients with fewer TAMs ( 28) than in patients with higher TAMs ( 28) ( P = 0.003). TAM in fi ltration was signi fi cantly higher in those with higher serum prostate -speci fi c antigen, higher GS, and metastasis. Multivariate analysis showed that GS, ADT type, and MVD number were signi fi cant prognostic factors for response to ADT in PCa ( P < 0.0001). An increased in fi ltration of TAM [hazards ratio (HR) = 4.47; 95% con fi dence interval (CI): 1.97-10.15], MVD (HR = 2.66; 95% CI: 1.27-5.61), metastatic status (HR = 2.29; 95% CI: 0.14-0.60), and prostate volume (HR = 2.19; 95% CI: 1.27-3.12) signi fi cantly correlated with shorter survival in PCa patients by univariate analysis ( P < 0.05). Multivariate analyses revealed that TAM and metastatic status signi fi cantly correlated with poor overall survival. Conclusions: TAM in fi ltration is associated with response to ADT and increased tumor angiogenesis in PCa. GS, ADT type, and MVD in PCa specimens are useful predictive factors for poor response to ADT. Increasing TAM and positive metastatic status were prognostic factors for a poorer survival in PCa patients. (c) 2020 Asian Paci fi c Prostate Society. Publishing services by Elsevier B.V.
