Abstract:
We are presenting an interesting case of skin metastasis from adenocarcinoma prostate. Interestingly bone metastasis were absent as documented on radioisotope bone scan and PSA levels were normal. As it was a hormone refractory disease, he was started on mitoxantrone and prednisolone chemotherapy. Lung metastatis appeared after 2 cycles of chemotherapy. He died of progressive disease 4 months later.

Metastasis
Metastasis is the spread of cancer cells from the original site to distant locations in the body. Cancer cells can spread via blood vessels (hematogenous) as well as lymph vessels in the body.
Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...
