Popis: To assess the relationships between CD163 expression, localization of CD163A total of 110 cases of NPC specimens and 80 cases of nasopharyngitis specimens were analysed for CD163 expression by immunohistochemistry and EBERs expression in situ hybridization.CD163 + macrophages in the tumour stroma were positively correlated with the tumour and nodal stage. Higher expression of Epstein-Barr virus-encoded RNAs (EBERs) in the nuclei of tumour cells was associated with higher density of CD163 + macrophages in the tumour stroma. More importantly, greater infiltration of CD163 + macrophages in the tumour stroma was associated with poor overall survival (OS) and poor progression-free survival (PFS). Multivariate analysis revealed that the density of CD163Increased infiltration of CD163
