Low TIM3 expression indicates poor prognosis of metastatic prostate cancer and acts as an independent predictor of castration resistant status

Abstract T cell immunoglobulin 3 (TIM3) is a cell surface star molecule expressed on T cells, and also marks dysfunctional CD8+ T cells in various kinds of cancers. However, there are few studies focusing on the expression of TIM3 in tumor cells. In our study, we recruited 139 patients with metastat...

However, there are few studies focusing on the expression of TIM3 in tumor cells.

Immunohistochemistry was performed to determine TIM3 expression in prostate cancer tissues and then patients were divided into two groups. In multivariate Cox analysis, we revealed that mPCa patients with negative TIM3 expression, younger age, no radiotherapy, higher Gleason score, higher cT stage and patients of mCRPC had a shorter OS.
