As a sequel to our previous study22, here we assessed the histopathological differences in markers of PCa progression, including perineural invasion (PNI), T and B lymphocytic infiltration, and IHC-based expression of EMT marker proteins (E-cadherin, N-cadherin, and vimentin), as well as AR in EBV-positive and EBV-negative PCa tissues. This evidence concerns the gene CDH2 and posterior cortical atrophy.
