Abstract

Background: We retrospectively investigated the relationship between immunohistochemical staining of radical prostatectomy (RP) specimens for snail and cancer recurrence. Methods: Seventy-six patients with prostate cancer who underwent RP were enrolled, and 53 patients were ultimately collected whose cancer was pathologically defined as T2. We detected the expression of snail using tissue microarrays. The snail image score was determined by the intensity. ×. tumor percentage, and a high score was defined as 8 (1-12 points). Results: The snail image scores and Gleason score sums were correlated with recurrence-free survival according to a log-rank test (p
