title: [Established and new urological therapeutic options in the management of prostate carcinoma].
abstract: The surgical and medical management of carcinoma of the prostate is a central issue in urology. Radical prostatectomy is the standard procedure in the curative therapy of locally confined carcinoma of the prostate. Recently, alternative minimally invasive options such as brachytherapy and the still experimental focused ultrasound and cryotherapy have gained in interest. Further palliative schemes such as hormonal ablation and chemotherapy have become established in the management of locally advanced and generalized carcinoma or elderly patients. It was our objective to give an account of these established and new urological therapy options in the management of carcinoma of the prostate.
