Question by Pat: what is a lesion discovered on a cancer patient who has prostrate cancer, lymph glands also and hip bone. now it sa?
the cancer patient has prostrate cancer, with lymph glands also and on hip bone. Now they found lesions on the liver. he was scheduled for surgery to take away everything involved, when the ultrasound picked up the lesions on the liver. Surgery was canceled till they can be cleared for an MRI. What exactly is a lesion? Thanks. Thoms626@verizon.net

A lesion is an abnormal location in an organ or tissue (it is a nonspecific term for an abnormality). Because the patient has cancer it is likely that the lesion is cancerous.
Advanced prostate (not prostrate) cancer can metastasize (spread to other organs) generating remedy quite hard. If the cancer has spread the remedy will be distinct than if the cancer was localized to the prostate. Once cancer spreads chemo or radiation is normally necessary in addition to surgery.
