NOTE. CD3, CD8, and FOXP3 immunostaining was unevaluable in 10, 5, and 28 cases from the intermediate/high-risk TMA set because of poor staining, respectively. Tumor stage and Gleason score information was not available for a few cases.
Including African American, Hispanic, other, and unknown.
From Kruskal-Wallis test.
Absence of p53 nuclear accumulation.
Presence of p53 nuclear accumulation.
