Objective: The objective of this study was to examine the impact of dehydrated human amnion/chorion membrane (dHACM) allografts on prostate and bladder cancer growth in the setting of residual disease and positive surgical margins. Materials and methods: A commercially available version of dHACM was used. Cytokines were identified and quantified, followed by comparative analysis of cell growth in two different human cell lines: prostate cancer (LNCaP) and bladder cancer (UM-UC-3), in vitro and in vivo. Tumor growth between the two groups, membrane versus no membrane implant, was compared and immunohistochemistry studies were conducted to quantify CD-31, Ki-67, and vimentin. A Student's unpaired t-test was used to determine statistical significance. Results: The UM-UC-3 and LNCaP cells grew quicker in medium plus 10% serum and dHACM extract than in the other media (p = 0.03). A total of 28 distinct cytokines were found in the extract, 11 of which had relatively high concentrations and are associated with prostate and bladder cancer tumor progression. In vivo LNCaP model, after 10 weeks, the median tumor volume in the membrane group was almost threefold larger than the partial resection alone (p = 0.01). Two weeks after resection, in the UM-UC-3 model, the membrane group reached fourfold larger than the partial resection without membrane group (p < 0.01). In both groups, the expression of CD-31 and Ki-67 markers were similar and showed no statistical significance (p > 0.05). It was only in the LNCaP tumors that vimentin expression was significantly higher in the group without membrane compared with the membrane group (p = 0.008). Conclusion: The use of dHACM after partial tumor resection is related to faster tumor relapse and growth in prostate and urothelial cancer in vivo models, showing a potential risk of rapid local recurrence in patients at high risk of positive margins.
