Biochemical remission after resection of prostate cancer lung metastasis

Urology. 2004 Mar;63(3):584-5. doi: 10.1016/j.urology.2003.10.069.

Abstract

Once metastatic, prostate cancer was regarded as a systemic disease that is not amenable to surgical therapy. We present a case of a solitary pulmonary recurrence of prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy that was resected, resulting in 12 years of biochemical remission without additional therapy.
