An 82-year-old man who has recently been diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer is meeting with his oncologist to discuss management options. The cancer has metastasised to his lumbar spine, and he is experiencing a lot of backache as a result. He has type 2 diabetes and some mild aortic stenosis. The plan is to start him on hormonal therapy to try and slow the growth of the tumour.
