The aim of the present study was to examine the correlation between the immunohistochemical findings and the serum markers for neuroendocrine (NE) cells in patients with carcinoma of the prostate. Preoperative serum values of chromogranin A (CgA), chromogranin B (CgB), pancreastatin (Pst), neuron-sp
## 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
Neuroendocrine (NE) differentiation of prostatic adenocarcinomas has received increasing attention in recent years as a result of possible implications on prognosis and therapy. The incidence of NE cells in tumors has been reported from 10% up to 100%. Several studies have shown chromogranin A (CgA)
