Summary
Brain metastases from prostate cancer are uncommon, but this case highlights a rare antemortem diagnosis. Surgical resection led to over 19 months of stability, offering insights into managing rare prostate cancer spread.
Area of Science:
- Neuro-oncology
- Urologic Oncology
- Pathology
Background:
- Brain metastases from prostate cancer are infrequently documented in clinical and postmortem studies.
- Prostate cancer typically metastasizes to bone, lymph nodes, and lungs, with brain involvement being exceptionally rare.

02:30Metastasis
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...
