Where is prostate cancer commonly spread to?

Bones and lymph node: Prostate cancer typically spreads to the pelvic lymph nodes or into bones, particularly he spine.

Lymph nodes,: Prostate cancer first spread to adjacent lymph nodes first then next chain of nodes, then to bones.

Lymph nodes/bones: Commonly spread to lymph nodes- then spread to bones very commonly- especially the pelvic bones, spines. Less commonly than lymph nodes and bones- prostate cancer also can spread to liver and lung.

Extra capsular also: Not to confuse the issue, but the initial site of concern for spread is outside of the capsule surrounding the majority of the prostate gland, as discussed in partin tables, this can often be treated at the time of definitive local therapy. If further progression occurs it can go to lymph nodes regionally and ultimately bone distantly.

Bones: Primarely pelvic, but also to spine, femur and ribs
