Tumor-to-tumor metastasis (TTM) occurs rarely in tumor progression, but this event has significant clinical implications. Although the impact of TTM on patient prognosis and survival has been increasingly recognized, understanding of TTM biology and treatment is limited. Prostate cancer is among the most common malignancies threatening male health. Prostate cancer can potentially metastasize to primary lung Cancer; however, this is an exceedingly rare event. We here report for the first time a case of TTM from a prostate cancer to a coexisting primary lung cancer.
肿瘤-to-肿瘤转移(TTM)在肿瘤进展过程中很少发生,但这一事件具有重要的临床意义。尽管TTM对患者预后和生存的影响已得到越来越多的认识,但对TTM生物学和治疗的了解仍然有限。前列腺癌是威胁男性健康的最常见恶性肿瘤之一。前列腺癌有可能转移至原发性肺癌;然而,这是一种极其罕见的情况。我们在此首次报告一例从前列腺癌转移至并存的原发性肺癌的TTM病例。
