title: [The role of computerized tomography in the diagnosis and treatment planning of prostatic cancer].
abstract: The influence of computerized tomography on planning the therapy of 58 patients with histologically confirmed carcinoma of the prostate gland was examined. In classifying the early tumour stages there were differences from the clinical findings. With more advanced stages CT in some cases gave much more detail for diagnosing the extension. In 11.5% of the cases this led to the irradiation field being either enlarged or reduced. CT also proved to be useful for follow-up, especially as regards decisions on increasing the irradiation dose.
