ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
Given the variable clinical course of prostate cancer and the limitations of current prognostic factors, this study was conducted to investigate the impact of a histologically overt stromal response (HOST-response) to prostate cancer on clinical outcomes after radical prostatectomy.METHODS:
This retrospective analysis utilized The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) to evaluate data from individuals with a confirmed diagnosis of prostate cancer who underwent radical prostatectomy and had available pathology slides. These slides were assessed for the presence of a HOST-response, similar to desmoplasia. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). A multivariable competing risk regression analysis was used to assess whether a significant association existed between HOST-response and PFS, adjusting for known prostate cancer prognostic factors.RESULTS:
Among the 348 patients analyzed, 166 (47.70%) demonstrated a HOST-response. After a median follow-up of 37.87 months (IQR 21.20, 65.50), the presence of a HOST-response was significantly associated with a shorter PFS (SDHR, 2.10; 95% CI, 1.26 to 3.50; p = 0.004), after adjusting for covariates.CONCLUSIONS:
HOST-response in prostate cancer patients treated with radical prostatectomy is significantly associated with reduced PFS, suggesting a potential benefit from adjuvant therapy and highlighting the need for further investigation in a prospective randomized clinical trial.
