I feel like this is going round in circles.
Stating METASTATIC Prostate cancer is DIFFERENT from just “prostate cancer”.
This seems to be conflating the 2 definitions. All metastatic PC is PC, but not all PC is metastatic.
So I’m confused how this “old adage” is really wrong?
It’s confusing. When someone says metastatic cancer of any kind, you need to establish if the sort of cancer they’re speaking of is a primary cancer that has spread and therefore become metastatic or if the metastatic cancer is itself the metastatic cancer originating from another (primary) source. People use the term metastatic loosely.
Finding it before it’s metastatic is difficult. It often appears as just a benign prostate enlargement.
