Urologia Internationalis
|January 1, 1985
Abstract:
The 30th case of metastatic skin carcinoma of prostatic origin was presented. The cytosolic R1881 receptor was detected moderately in the metastatic nodule of the skin, however, the measurement of this receptor had a limited value for the purpose of treating the patient with antiandrogenic agents.
Insights
This study presents the 30th case of prostate cancer metastasized to the skin. While the androgen receptor was detected, its measurement showed limited value for guiding antiandrogen therapy in this rare presentation.
