Pulmonary recurrence from prostate cancer and biochemical remission after metastasis directed therapy. A case report

Pulmonary recurrence from prostate cancer and biochemical remission after metastasis directed therapy. A case report

We report a case of a 69-years-old man who presented with a solitary 1 cm nodule in the lower lobe of the left lung almost 3 years after radical prostatectomy for pT3aN0M0, Gleason score 4+3 disease, without evidence of osseous or lymphatic spread. Surgical resection of the pulmonary lobe confirmed...
