title: [Treatment of ureteral obstructions due to prostatic carcinoma. Prognostic value of response to medical treatment (author's transl)].
abstract: A retrospective study concerning 146 patients with prostatic cancer showed that 30 of them (20 p.cent) presented ureteral obstacles at some time during the evolution of the disease. The majority of these cases were T3-T4 tumors. When a strickly medical approach allowed to reduce the obstruction, the 1 year survived rate was 71 p.cent. When surgery became necessary due to persistent renal insufficiency, in spite of medical treatment the 1 year survival rate was 15 p.cent.
