Morphologic features of prostate cancer-encased native vessels: An image analysis study

CONCLUSIONS: Similar to the 2000 study, increased media thickness and hypercellularity of vessels encased by PC were evident compared to controls. Borderline grade-dependent increased vessel cellularity changes were seen, suggesting a possible role in PC progression; the predictive value of these changes for outcome is uncertain. Whether the etiology of changes reflects locally increased intravascular pressure of vessels within tumor should be investigated.PMID:38461692 | DOI:10.1016/j.prp.2024.155239
