title: Radical economic surgery and antiandrogenic therapy in management of prostatic cancer.
abstract: The treatment of early stage prostatic cancer with retropubic radical prostatectomy, pelvic lymphadenectomy and antiandrogenic therapy is reported. Out of 22 patients operated in the past 9 years, none died because of the tumor and metastases appeared in 1 patient only. The latter showed a microscopic seminal vesicle invasion and was considered as a P3 stage. Excluding impotence which is generally the rule, urinary incontinence was the most common complication: it was complete in 1 case but successfully treated surgically and mild in 6 cases without, however, requiring surgical intervention or collection device.
