Molecular features of castration-resistant neuroendocrine prostate cancer (CRPC-NE) are not well characterized. A recent study that investigated genomic aberrations of CRPC-NE tumors suggests their clonal evolution from CRPC adenocarcinoma. Furthermore, the existence of a distinct DNA methylation profile in CRPC-NE implicates a critical role for epigenetic modification in the development of CRPC-NE.
去势抵抗性神经内分泌前列腺癌(CRPC-NE)的分子特征尚未得到很好的描述。最近的一项研究调查了 CRPC-NE 肿瘤的基因组异常,表明它们是从 CRPC 腺癌中克隆进化而来的。此外,CRPC-NE 中存在独特的 DNA 甲基化谱,这表明表观遗传修饰在 CRPC-NE 的发展中起着关键作用。
