title: Secondary tumors of the prostate.
abstract: The significance and clinical implications of secondary neoplasms of the prostate are discussed. These neoplasms are rare except for those that involve the gland by direct extension from adjacent structures. We report on 185 such cases found on a review of almost 6,000 male autopsies during the last 25 years.
