Sharing insights and learning from the one and only @DrRanaMcKay! This is an uncommon and challenging disease subtype that requires multi-modal care. @PCFnews
Diagnostic and staging approaches for localized neuroendocrine #ProstateCancer. @JoshLangMD @uw_medicine & @DrRanaMcKay @UCSanDiego join @neerajaiims @huntsmancancer discuss how they manage localized small cell and neuroendocrine prostate cancer—rare, aggressive variants that require platinum-based chemotherapy, thorough staging, and multidisciplinary care. Pure small cell disease is treated with platinum–etoposide and radiation, whereas mixed adenocarcinoma/neuroendocrine tumors are approached more like very high-risk prostate cancer with taxane–platinum plus ADT, surgical relief of obstruction when needed, and CT-based surveillance since PSMA PET and PSA can both be misleading. #WatchNow > bit.ly/4qYGAM4View quoted post on X
