Expression of the chemokine receptor CCR7 in prostate cancer presenting with generalized lymphadenopathy: Report of a case, review of the literature, and analysis of chemokine receptor expression

Prostate cancer may present on rare occasions with generalized adenopathy. Variable expression of chemokine receptors may be associated with organ specific patterns of metastasis. In this case, expression of CCR7 may have accounted for the unusual predilection of this patient's prostate cancer for lymph nodes.
