Massive prostatic carcinoma in negroes.
Three cases of massive carcinoma of the prostate in negroes are presented. Investigation and treatment were carried out along conventional lines. There was a very good response to treatment initially in that all tumours shrank and became impalpable. Two patients died of recurrent carcinoma at 1 and 2 3/4 years respectively. The third has widespread metastases at present controlled by chemotherapy. The possible differences in the behaviour of prostatic carcinoma in negroes are discussed.
