[Complete hormonal blockade vs. monotherapy in the management of metastasizing prostatic cancer].
Evaluation of results obtained in 70 hormone-treated patients with disseminated prostate cancer. Thirty-six of them were treated via orchiectomy and 34 received also flutamide. Initial objective response rates were 47% in the monotherapy group versus 58% for those undergoing complete blockade. Decrease of PSA and PAP was also higher in the group given flutamide. Nonetheless, no significant changes were observed with regard to biological and clinical progression or patients survival.
