Therapeutic and prognostic aspects of cancer of the prostate detected incidentally in the course of adenoma enucleation.
Though cancer of the prostate is generally regarded as a fairly benign tumour with long survival, many patients die of it. The sovereignty of hormone therapy seems questionable in the light of recent experience. A selected patient material with early stage cancer of the prostate--incidental findings at the Freyer-Hryntschak operation for bladder neck adenoma--is presented for the illustration of the prognostic aspects of this tumour. Androgen control therapy was given postoperatively to every patient.
