A subset of advanced prostate cancer tumours are non-androgen axis signalling dependent, and harbour neuroendocrine features (including small-cell or large-cell subtypes) and are termed treatment-related neuroendocrine prostate cancer (tNEPC). Chromogranin A, due to its primary expression throughout the neuroendocrine system, is a widely accepted biomarker for the assessment of neuroendocrine tumours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Modern Medicine \u2013&nbsp;Issue 5 2<\/em>020<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chromogranin A, for Prostate Cancer Tracking The lifetime risk for\u00a0prostate cancer\u00a0in men in\u00a0South Africa is 1 in 19, according to the 2014 National\u00a0Cancer\u00a0Registry.\u00a0Prostate cancer is the&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":true,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2},"beyondwords_generate_audio":"","beyondwords_project_id":"","beyondwords_content_id":"","beyondwords_preview_token":"","beyondwords_player_content":"","beyondwords_player_style":"","beyondwords_language_code":"","beyondwords_language_id":"","beyondwords_title_voice_id":"","beyondwords_body_voice_id":"","beyondwords_summary_voice_id":"","beyondwords_error_message":"","beyondwords_disabled":"","beyondwords_delete_content":"","beyondwords_podcast_id":"","beyondwords_hash":"","publish_post_to_speechkit":"","speechkit_hash":"","speechkit_generate_audio":"","speechkit_project_id":"","speechkit_podcast_id":"","speechkit_error_message":"","speechkit_disabled":"","speechkit_access_key":"","speechkit_error":"","speechkit_info":"","speechkit_response":"","speechkit_retries":"15","speechkit_status":"Error","speechkit_updated_at":"","_speechkit_link":"","_speechkit_text":"5af53fa785f167fd1edf8e5d93d14bb8"},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2548","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-oncology"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5REYo-F6","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.modernmedia.co.za\/modernmedicine\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2548","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.modernmedia.co.za\/modernmedicine\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.modernmedia.co.za\/modernmedicine\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.modernmedia.co.za\/modernmedicine\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.modernmedia.co.za\/modernmedicine\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2548"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.modernmedia.co.za\/modernmedicine\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2548\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2549,"href":"http:\/\/www.modernmedia.co.za\/modernmedicine\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2548\/revisions\/2549"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.modernmedia.co.za\/modernmedicine\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2548"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.modernmedia.co.za\/modernmedicine\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2548"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.modernmedia.co.za\/modernmedicine\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2548"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
