Effective treatment of metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the prostate with adriamycin.
A case is presented of a 67-year old man who experienced the sudden onset of prostatism and underwent a complete panendoscopy and transurethral resection of the prostate. Tissue from the right lateral lobe of the prostatic urethra revealed squamous cell carcinoma and a chest x-ray revealed bilateral pulmonary nodules. Tumor progression was observed. However, subsequent response to adriamycin has lasted more than 5 months after the carcinoma failed to respond to radiation, surgery or other chemotherapy.
