Prostate cancer is a hormone-dependent neoplasm of significant heterogeneity. Clinical behavior, response to treatments and survival vary depending on each patient. More than 95% of prostate cancers are adenocarcinomas, variants that cannot be, are divided into two groups based on their cellular origin: epithelial and non-epithelial. Epithelial variants are more differentiated and biologically less aggressive, whereas non-epithelial variants have a very invading behavior. Its treatment is oriented to the relief of the symptomatology, the control of its expansion and to increase the probabilities of cure.
