Media: Digital Illustration Artist statement:1 in 7 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in his lifetime. Prostate cancer can affect lymph flow, the colon, and ureter, causing symptoms such as urinary trouble, back pain and more. This schematic drawing of the Male Reproductive System could be used in a physician's office to aid explaination of this common disease.

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer affecting men in the United States and the second greatest cause of cancer-related death. Metastases usually occur to bone followed by distant lymph nodes and then viscera. Cutaneous metastases are extremely rare. Their presence indicates advanced disease and a poor prognosis. As they are highly variable in appearance and may mimic a more benign process, biopsy is essential for identification. Serine proteases, particularly human tissue kallikreins, may play an important role in promoting metastasis and facilitate infiltration of the skin. Individual cancer genetics may predispose to more aggressive cancer and thus earlier and more distant metastases. In this article, we report our case of a 67-year-old man with a 4-year history of castrate-resistant prostate cancer with cutaneous metastases confirmed by histology. Despite multiple lines of systemic therapy, the patient suffered progressive disease with worsening performance status and was enrolled in hospice.

Prostate cancer is a very common disease, which is, unfortunately, often the cause of many male deaths. This is underlined by the fact that the early stages of prostate cancer are often asymptomatic. Therefore, the disease is usually detected and diagnosed at late advanced or even metastasized stages, which are already difficult to treat. Hence, it is important to pursue research and development not only in terms of novel diagnostic methods but also of therapeutic ones, as well as to increase the effectiveness of the treatment by combinational medicinal approach. Therefore, in this review article, we focus on recent approaches and novel potential tools for the treatment of advanced prostate cancer; these include not only androgen deprivation therapy, antiandrogen therapy, photodynamic therapy, photothermal therapy, immunotherapy, multimodal therapy, but also poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase, Akt and cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors.
