Prognostic significance of TAMs in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). The Kaplan–Meier curves for overall survival (OS) were stratified by the median values as the cutoff for prognostic evaluation and divided into low- or high-TAM variable subsets. CD68+ TAMs did not demonstrate prognostic significance for OS (a, b) in the tumor stroma (TS) or tumor nest (TN). A high density of CD163+ TAMs in the TS and TN was associated with poor RFS and OS (c, d). OS (e, f) curves according to the infiltration density of the CD163+/CD68+ ratio in TSs and TNs.
