  • Title: Medieval example of metastatic carcinoma: a dry bone, radiological, and SEM study.
    Author: Anderson T, Wakely J, Carter A.
    Journal: Am J Phys Anthropol; 1992 Nov; 89(3):309-23. PubMed ID: 1485639.
    Abstract:
    An elderly male skeleton from medieval Canterbury displayed evidence of DISH and metastatic carcinoma. The dry bone findings, SEM, and radiography suggest a primary focus in the prostate. A review of the palaeopathological literature has shown that such a finding is extremely rare in archaeological remains. This is the first reported case of prostatic carcinoma from medieval England.
