Overview

NCI Definition: A neoplasm with neuroendocrine differentiation that arises from the prostate gland. This category includes carcinoid tumors and small cell carcinomas. [1]

Prostate neuroendocrine neoplasms most frequently harbor alterations in TP53, RB1, TMPRSS2, ERG, and PTEN [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Prostate Neuroendocrine Neoplasm

TP53 Mutation, TP53 c.217-c.1178 Missense, TP53 Missense, TMPRSS2-ERG Fusion, and RB1 Loss are the most common alterations in prostate neuroendocrine neoplasm [2].
