[Locally advanced prostatic cancer and systemic involvement].
In a group of 115 patients with prostatic cancer, the correlation between the local and systemic evolution of the neoplasm has been evaluated. In 80 patients non local and systemic up-staging of the tumor was observed. In further 18 patients both local and systemic staging uppers and in the remaining 17 patients no correlation between local and systemic evolution was observed. In conclusion, in this series, the prostatic cancer demonstrated an high concordance in both local and systemic evolution and then the modifications of local staging can be used as a predictive parameter of systemic evolution of the prostatic cancer.
