title: Radiotherapy of carcinoma of the prostate.
abstract: In the years 1963 to 1971, 58 patients with adenocarcinoma of the prostate were irradiated to control the disease locally. Complete regression of the tumour occured in 38 patients (66%). A definite response to radiotherapy does not seem to be related to the degree of histological differentiation. The 5-year survival rate for the entire material was 33% and for the T3NxMo group 44%.
