TUR-P operation was perfor-med at January 2013. Pathology result is reported as small cell carcinoma of prostate. After diagno-sis, single agent carboplatin (AUC 5) chemothe-rapy and palliative radiotherapy were planned. Chemotherapy was stopped after first cure be-cause of intolerance of patient. He is deceased at fourth month of diagnosis.
