Abstract

BACKGROUND: Endothelial cells are integral components of the tumor microenvironment and play a multifaceted role in tumor immunotherapy. Targeting endothelial cells and related signaling pathways can improve the effectiveness of immunotherapy by normalizing tumor blood vessels and promoting immune cell infiltration. However, to date, there have been no comprehensive studies analyzing the role of endothelial cells in the diagnosis and treatment of prostate adenocarcinoma (PRAD).
