A case of metastatic prostate cancer treated with metastasectomy

Abstract

In general, metastatic prostate cancer is managed medically. Here we present a patient with metastatic prostate cancer who was treated by surgical resection in addition to medical therapies. Local therapies should be considered if metastatic lesions are limited, also in cases of metastatic prostate cancer.

Zusammenfassung

Metastasierter Prostatakrebs wird im Allgemeinen medizinisch behandelt. Hier stellen wir einen Patienten mit metastasiertem Prostatakrebs vor, der zusätzlich zu medizinischen Therapien durch chirurgische Resektion behandelt wurde. Lokale Therapien sollten in Betracht gezogen werden, wenn metastatische Läsionen begrenzt sind, auch bei metastasierendem Prostatakrebs.
