- Title
Androgen-Independent Prostate Cancer Treated with Resection of the Solitary Metastatic Site.

- Abstract
The concept of resection of a solitary metastatic lesion is quite foreign in prostate cancer, as metastases to regional lymph nodes or to other distant sites are most likely suggestive of disseminated disease. The current report demonstrates a very unique case, in whom excision of a solitary pulmonary metastasis has resulted in continued undetectable prostate-specific antigen values over 3 years after resection. Nevertheless, the presence of unusual cases such as this, as well as the work of others, may suggest that surgical excision of solitary or oligometastatic sites could at least be considered for the most highly selected and well-informed patients, whose clinical scenario indicates a potential benefit from such an approach.
