title: [Is maximal androgenic blockade necessary in the treatment of prostatic cancer?].
abstract: As the literature data give arguments both pro and contra wide use of maximal androgenic block (MAB) in the treatment of prostatic cancer, the authors studied MAB in 200 patients. They came to the conclusion that MAB can be applied in patients with symptoms of disseminated prostatic cancer as neoadjuvant therapy before prostatectomy and as neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapy in planning radiotherapy.
