Abstract

INTRODUCTION: The present study showed the involvement of immunosuppressive myeloid-derived suppressor cells during the disease progression in a 69-year-old man with a prostate cancer.

CASE PRESENTATION: The patient with metastatic PC (cT4N1M1ab) was initially treated with primary androgen deprivation therapy for 5 months and then chemotherapy with docetaxel, but he expired at the 8th month. In order to investigate whether myeloid-derived suppressor cells are implicated in the cancer exacerbation during androgen deprivation therapy, we assessed the long-term changes in peripheral blood myeloid-derived suppressor cell fractions by using flow cytometry. While prostate-specific antigen levels decreased after androgen deprivation therapy, the population of each myeloid-derived suppressor cell subsets increased during disease deterioration.

CONCLUSION: Increase in myeloid-derived suppressor cells populations was correlated with prostate cancer progression.
