[Incidence and nature of metastases of prostatic cancer based on autopsy data].
Pathways of lymphatic and hematogenic spread for prostatic cancer were studied versus tumor stage and patients' age. Metastases into regional lymph nodes were the most frequent, while bony and visceral metastases ranked second and third, respectively. Age-related peculiarities of dissemination were identified. The data obtained do not support the traditional standpoint that bones are the most frequent sites of prostatic cancer dissemination.
