Metastases to prostatic cancer: X-ray film of the male pelvis showing secondary bone tumours (metastases) caused by a primary tumour of the prostate. The metastases appear as the dense,white lumbar vertebrae (spinal bones) & the white patches over the pelvis. Carcinoma of the prostate typically affects elderly men. The prostate is an accessory male sex gland,opening into the urethra below the bladder & vas deferens. It secretes an alkaline fluid that forms part of semen released during ejaculation. The prostate may become enlarged with increasing age,causing obstruction to the neck of the bladder & impairing urination | |
