Prostatic Small Cell Carcinoma: Diagnosis and Management
Prostatic small cell carcinoma (PSCC) is a distinct clinical phenotype of prostate cancer. Although rare, this phenotype is highly aggressive with very high mortality. Due to this, it is imperative for clinicians to be aware of it, diagnose it early and treat it appropriately. In this article we discuss the current literature, outline a plan for its diagnosis and management, and highlight lates...

Small-cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder (SCCUB) accounts for less than 1% of all cancers arising in the urinary bladder. Current diagnosis and management of SCCUB are often patterned after small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). However, SCCUB therapy is different from that for SCLC. For example, many patients with SCCUB undergo local resection, which is rarely performed in SCLC. As in SCLC, platinu...
متن کاملSolitary Spinal Epidural Metastasis from Prostatic Small Cell Carcinoma
Solitary, spinal epidural metastasis (SEM) that is not related to vertebral metastasis is very rare. And solitary SEM from prostatic cancer is rarely found in previously published reports. However, it is clinically significant due to the possibility of neurologic dysfunction, and it can be assessed by MRI. In this report, we show a case of solitary SEM arising from prostatic small cell carcinom...
متن کاملRb loss is characteristic of prostatic small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma.
PURPOSE Small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the prostate is likely to become increasingly common with recent advances in pharmacologic androgen suppression. Thus, developing molecular markers of small cell differentiation in prostate cancer will be important to guide the diagnosis and therapy of this aggressive tumor. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We examined the status of RB1, TP53, and PTEN in pro...
