Bone Marrow Metastatic Prostate Cancer Representing Itself With Deep Anemia

Abstract

Introduction Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second leading cancer in both sexes and the most common cancer in males. Prostate cancer preferentially spreads to regional lymph nodes and bone. Significant metastases to lung, liver or other visceral organs are less common [1]. Patients have a good survival rate if the cancer is diagnosed at an early stage [2]. Generally the patients contact the doctors when the malignancy almost spread in other parts of the body. This is an advanced stage of cancer which is called Metastatic disease. At this stage is incurable and causes significant mortality. Symptoms of advanced prostate cancer are bone pain, spinal cord compression, fatigue, depression, obstruction, weight loss, constipation and anaemia.
