title: [A case of giant prostate cancer].
abstract: A 67-year-old patient with stage C giant prostate cancer was treated with a combination of endocrine administration and chemotherapy. After administration of diethylstilbestrol diphosphate (250 mg/D, 16 days), bilateral orchiectomy and subsequent CDDP administration (30 mg/D X 5 days, e. 3 weeks, 4 courses), the primary tumor was reduced by about 90%. Clinical response was evaluated as partial response. Serum acid phosphatase activity, prostatic acid phosphatase, prostate antigen and nuclear DNA histogram served as useful tumor markers and changed in parallel to clinical course.
