Neuroendocrine prostate cancer is an aggressive histological subtype of prostate cancer with a poor prognosis. Neuroendocrine prostate cancer is traditionally treated with cisplatin-based chemotherapy, similar to that used in treating small-cell lung cancer. However, the therapeutic effectiveness of chemotherapy for neuroendocrine prostate cancer has been limited. This case report describes a response to triplet therapy using darolutamide, androgen deprivation therapy, and docetaxel, which was administered in a patient with mixed neuroendocrine prostate cancer.
A 77-year-old man was newly diagnosed with mixed neuroendocrine prostate cancer. Serum prostate-specific antigen, neuron-specific enolase, and progastrin-releasing peptide levels were 62.2, 40.6, and 60.6 pg/mL, respectively. Multiple lymph node metastases were identified on a computed tomography scan, and bone scintigraphy revealed multiple bone metastases. The clinical stage was determined to be cT3bN1M1b. Ultimately, tumor size and serum markers decreased with triplet therapy.
We demonstrated the first case in which triplet therapy had been effective in the treatment of neuroendocrine prostate cancer.
神经内分泌前列腺癌是一种侵袭性的前列腺癌组织学亚型,预后较差。传统上,神经内分泌前列腺癌采用基于顺铂的化疗进行治疗,类似于治疗小细胞肺癌的化疗方法。然而,化疗对神经内分泌前列腺癌的治疗效果有限。本病例报告描述了一名混合性神经内分泌前列腺癌患者对使用达洛鲁胺、雄激素剥夺疗法和多西他赛的三联疗法的反应。
一名77岁男性新诊断为混合性神经内分泌前列腺癌。血清前列腺特异性抗原、神经元特异性烯醇化酶和胃泌素释放肽前体水平分别为62.2、40.6和60.6 pg/mL。计算机断层扫描发现多处淋巴结转移,骨闪烁显像显示多处骨转移。临床分期确定为cT3bN1M1b。最终,三联疗法使肿瘤大小和血清标志物降低。
我们展示了首例三联疗法有效治疗神经内分泌前列腺癌的病例。
