description | Neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) is rare, with short overall survival, and no established standard therapy. Therefore, the management of NEPC is often challenging. We report a case of a 63-year-old male diagnosed with NEPC and treated with multimodal examinations and therapies. Chemotherapy of cisplatin and etoposide for 6 months had a certain effect. However, his cancer progressed, and he took genetic screening exams. It revealed that his tumor mutational burden was high, and pembrolizumab was started. In this report, we suggested several new treatments. |
