Abstract
Neuroendocrine prostate cancer is a rare and aggressive cancer with a poor prognosis. This type of cancer is often diagnosed at an advanced stage and exhibits rapid resistance to standard therapeutic methods. Taking into account the low occurrence of this phenomenon, a description of poorly differentiated neuroendocrine (small cell) prostate cancer with extremely aggressive forms is given.
