Significant relative cell type scores for clinicopathologic variables. Relative cell type scores that demonstrated significance for GG (A), Gleason sum (B), metastasis (C), age at diagnosis group (D), and PSA (E) at diagnosis group are shown. Mann–Whitney U test (A, C) or Kruskal–Wallis test followed by Dunn multiple comparisons post-hoc test (B, D, E) were used to determine significance, as indicated by listed P values below 0.05. Each dot represents a patient score, and error bars correspond to mean ± SD.

ARTICLE ABSTRACT

Our findings demonstrate that there are immune-related genes and pathways that differ by race. Impaired intratumoral cellular immune composition, especially for TIL-normalized mast cells, may be vital in predicting and contributing to prostate cancer disease progression.
