Research on the association of plasma TGF-β1 level and blood lymphocyte/monocyte ratio with pathological grade, clinical stage and prognosis of prostate cancer.

The TGF-β1 level is positively correlated with the severity, clinical stage and pathological grade of PCa. LMR is negatively correlated with the depth of tumor infiltration, stage and grade. Clinical stage, TGF-β1, lymph node metastasis and Gleason score are influencing factors for PFS of PCa patients after treatment.
