Androgen-deprivation therapy in the management of neuroendocrine prostate cancer.

Background: Prostatic neuroendocrine carcinomas comprise <1% of all prostate neoplasms, and approximately 200 cases have been reported in the literature. We undertook this study to describe the experience in the management of prostatic neuroendocrine carcinoma with androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT).

Methods: We designed a retrospective, descriptive and observational study.
