the spread of the prostate cancer to the bones (bone metastases) cancause severe pain and fracture, and hormonal therapy for prostate cancer can cause bone loss, fracture, and joint pain.
The cancer cells grow and begin to multiply uncontrollably. They initially spread to the surrounding tissues to form a tumor nodule that is able to grow outside the prostate (extracapsular extension) or be located within the prostate. Usually, this type of cancer metastasizes to the bones and...

If the cancer has spread to remote organs (metastasis) symptoms may includefatigue, malaise, andweight loss. Metastasis to the bones can cause deep bone pain, particularly in the hips and back or even bone fractures from weakening of the bone. ...
Prostate cancer is comprised nearly always of adenocarcinomacells -- cells that arise from glandular tissue. Cancer cells are named according to the organ in which they originate no matter where in the body we find such cells. Thus, if prostate cancer cells spread in the body to the bones, ...
