[A Case of Metastatic Prostate Cancer with Neuroendocrine Differentiation with Long-Term Survival after Multidisciplinary Therapy].

A 74-year-old man visited the urology clinic with the chief complaint of urinary retention in December 2014. Serum level of initial prostate specific antigen (PSA) was 50 ng/ml and he was diagnosed with Gleason Score 4＋4 prostate adenocarcinoma with regional lymphadenopathy (cT3aN1M0). PSA level had declined after the treatment with combined androgen blockade. In November 2018, he was diagnosed with castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) as local progression was detected by computed tomography (CT) while PSA level did not increase. Since local symptoms worsened, resulting in repeated hematuria after the treatment with enzalutamide, palliative radiation therapy to the prostate (45 Gy) was performed. Five months later, follow-up CT showed multiple metastasis in bilateral lung and left testicle. Serum level of neuron-specific enolase (NSE) was 24.4 ng/ml without an elevated in serum PSA level. He received rebiopsy of the prostate, but no malignant findings were observed. Consequently, bilateral orchiectomy was performed for diagnosis of left testicular tumor. Pathological examination revealed metastasis of neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC). Chemotherapy using cisplatin and irinotecan was administered after orchiectomy. Complete response of lung lesions was achieved and serum level of NSE decreased within normal range. No recurrence has been confirmed for 4 years after the completion of chemotherapy.
