## BACKGROUND. Neuroendocrine differentiation in prostatic carcinoma may be related to the growth and prognosis of prostate cancer, especially androgen-insensitive tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS. This update reviews new investigations relating to neuroendocrine differentiation of prostatic carcinom
Several recent studies have focused attention on neuroendocrine differentiation (NED) in prostatic carcinoma (PC). Clinical studies have shown PC with NED to behave aggressively and to be associated with poor prognosis. To evaluate NED as an independent prognostic factor, we conducted a retrospectiv
