Abstract
The Open University's first one-day symposium on treatment-emergent neuroendocrine prostate cancer attracted world-leading figures, early career researchers and industry colleagues. The symposium proved insightful into the 'real-world' impact and current problems faced in the diagnosis and treatment of neuroendocrine prostate cancer. It was important for this meeting to take place as the incidence of neuroendocrine prostate cancer is increasing due to the widespread use of next-generation androgen deprivation drugs. The symposium discussions proposed new molecularly driven deadlines to accelerate research and improved the treatment of this deadly and poorly recognized malignancy.
