Description

A rare prostate cancer that acts like a nerve cell tumour has few good cures, since it barely answers the standard drug and ray paths. Xin-yuan Yu and ten co-authors report a case in 2023 in which a targeted radioactive drug was tried. The patient was a man in his eighties whose blood marker for prostate growth had risen.

The drug pairs a guide that seeks nerve-type cells with a radioactive payload that kills at close range. It is known from work on like tumours in the gut. Prostate cases of this type are scarce, and the research base for their care is thin. The report walks through the man's course and the drug's effect. One case cannot set a standard, but it can point trials toward a fresh path.
