Clinical management of carcinoma of prostate, associated with bilateral ureteral obstruction.
A review of 34 cases of bilateral ureteral obstruction secondary to carcinoma of the prostate indicates that aggressive treatment in selected cases can increase survival without an associated increase in morbidity. In our series various modalities of treatment were used in 25 patients and the remaining 9 patients received no treatment. Bilateral ureteral obstruction in cases of carcinoma of the prostate should not uniformly imply a terminal event or hopeless prognosis.
