Neuroendocrine Transformation Without PSA Elevation in High-Risk Metastatic Castration-Sensitive Prostate Cancer Under Androgen Receptor Signaling Inhibition: A Case Report. [PDF]

IJU Case Rep
ABSTRACT Introduction Neuroendocrine prostate cancer is a rare and highly aggressive variant of prostate cancer with a poor prognosis. We report a case in which metastatic castration‐sensitive prostate cancer directly transformed into neuroendocrine prostate cancer without a corresponding increase in prostate‐specific antigen.
