Ductal Adenocarcinoma of the Prostate: Increased Mortality Risk and Decreased Serum Prostate Specific Antigen

Abstract

In what is to our knowledge the largest series of this histological subtype ductal cancer cases were more likely to present with advanced stage cancer and lower prostate specific antigen, suggesting that timely disease detection is a significant challenge. Also, men with locoregional disease were more likely to die of the disease.
