How to control the metastasis of Stage 2 prostate cancer?

Hello doctor,

My grandfather is 74 years old, he was found to have prostate cancer. The oncologist who found the cancer said that it would metastasize and spread throughout the body. I want to understand something that came across while we were searching for information. What is the role of stroma in prostate cancer, and how does it relate to the spread of the cancer? Are there any new advancements that can help control the metastasis and, ideally, remove the cancer?

Thank you.

What causes a long-standing lump in the breast?

Hello doctor,

I have a lump behind my left nipple for around 10 years. It is a painless and hard lump which is just behind the nipple, and it seems to be round in shape and is about more than 1 cm in size. It is not growing and is of fixed size. I also notice skin discoloration on the breast like slight melanin patches. I also notice a few minor or very small fluid lumps in the right breast area. Please tell me if the lump can be cancerous.
