title: [Diagnostics and therapy of the carcinoma of the prostate (author's transl)].
abstract: By well organized preventive examinations early tumour stages can be recognized. The diagnosis of prostatic cancer has to be secured by biopsy. The primary reliability of aspiration biopsies (cytology) was 94% compared with punch biopsies (histology) amounting to 73%. Indications and results of aspiration biopsies, radiological and nuclear medical techniques in diagnosing prostatic cancer are described. The combined anti-androgenic hormonal therapy (infusions of cytonal, subcapsular orchiectomy, permanent administration of oestrogen) is considered to be the unchanged basis of treatment. Comparative cytologic investigations in therapy indicate that high-voltage treatment connected with hormonal therapy seems to be superior to exclusive hormonal treatment. Observations after additional therapy by a radionuclid (89-Strontium) for affecting metastases are encouraging. Indications of a therapy by cytostatica in progressive prostatic cancer are explained.
