Anterior Urethral Metastasis of Prostate Cancer Presenting With Minimal Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) Elevation.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Prostate cancer metastasising to the urethra is a very rare occurrence of advanced disease. Herein, we present a case of a 64-year-old male patient presenting with urethral metastasis of prostate adenocarcinoma. This patient initially presented in May 2024 with visible haematuria, with flexible cystoscopy in July 2024 revealing a polypoid lesion in the anterior urethra measuring 1.5 cm and a second villous growth in the prostatic fossa. The patient's initial prostate adenocarcinoma was diagnosed in 2017, managed with transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), radical radiotherapy, and adjuvant hormonal therapy up until 2019, with stable disease and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) until 2024. Initial management was resection of both lesions with subsequent repeat cystoscopy for further clearance of the anterior urethral lesion. Histopathological analysis of both lesions revealed the lesion in the prostatic fossa to be a nephrogenic metaplasia and the anterior urethral lesion to be prostatic adenocarcinoma (Gleason 4+4). After a multidisciplinary team discussion, the patient was deemed for further hormonal treatment to manage this new metastatic deposit. Continued oncological review and management are still underway. Occult metastasis of prostate cancer in this manner is extremely rare in the literature and requires early detection and clinical vigilance for timely treatment.
