Aggressive variants of prostate cancer: underlying mechanisms of neuroendocrine transdifferentiation

Abstract Prostate cancer is a hormone-driven disease and its tumor cell growth highly relies on increased androgen receptor (AR) signaling. Therefore, targeted therapy directed against androgen synthesis or AR activation is broadly used and continually improved. However, a subset of patients eventua...
