Radical economic surgery and antiandrogenic therapy in management of prostatic cancer.
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.
