Brain metastasis from prostatic cancer

J Surg Oncol. 1983 Jul;23(3):173-4. doi: 10.1002/jso.2930230310.

Abstract

Four cases of prostatic carcinoma with metastasis to brain are described. Two of those cases are diagnosed antemortem. Our experience from postmortem case studies and review of the literature point to the fact that metastasis to brain from a prostatic cancer remains a rare occurrence.
