There is an intriguing link between differentiation of neuroendocrine cells and tumor progression in prostate cancer. Neuroendocrine differentiation appears to be associated with the androgen-independent state, for which there is currently no successful therapy. However, the role of the neuroendocri
## BACKGROUND. The prostatic neuroendocrine cell is a regulatory cell that produces serotonin and peptide hormones. This cell is part of a more widely dispersed diffuse neuroendocrine regulatory system known as the APIJD system. Focal neuruendocrine differentiation is seen in virtually all prostat
## BACKGROUND. Information is presented on prostatic neuroendocrine cells and neuroendocrine differentiation in prostatic carcinoma. The prognostic and therapeutic implications of neuroendocrine differentiation in prostatic carcinoma are reviewed. METHODS. Data are presented that support the intri
