title: [A densitometric assessment of skeletal mineral levels in prostate cancer patients treated with hormones].
abstract: An assessment of the densitometry data on 76 patients established a progressively falling level of minerals in the skeleton as a result of treatment with hormones for prostate cancer. The basal mineral levels had been identified by means of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. While said changes were immediately caused by maximum androgen deprivation, tumor influence and medication contributed too.
