Clinical study of prostatic cancer

Eighty patients with prostatic cancer, who first visited Kyorin University School of Medicine from January 1976 through December 1986, were analyzed. Incidence of prostatic cancer was 3.9% among male inpatients. Age distribution was between 55 and 88, with an average of 72 years old. The most common...

Zusammenfassung:Eighty patients with prostatic cancer, who first visited Kyorin University School of Medicine from January 1976 through December 1986, were analyzed. Incidence of prostatic cancer was 3.9% among male inpatients. Age distribution was between 55 and 88, with an average of 72 years old. The most common symptoms were dysuria followed by pollakisuria, hematuria, lumbago and lower extremity pain. Duration from onset of symptom to examination ranged from 6 to 84 months, with an average of 22 months. Clinical stage was A in 7.5%, B in 10%, C in 11.3% and D in 71.3%. According to histological grade, well, moderately, and poorly differentiated adenocarcinomas were observed in 29.9, 29.9 and 40.2%, respectively. According to the General Rules for Clinical and Pathological Studies on Prostatic Cancer, clinical T classification were T0 in 8.7%, T1 in 3.8%, T2 in 47.5%, T3 in 27.5% and T4 in 12.5%. In the correlation between stage and grade, the largest number of poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma cases was in stage D. There was no correlation between stage and T classification. Of the 80 patients, 71.25% were treated with antiandrogen therapy, 16.25% with radiation therapy chiefly, 7.5% by surgery chiefly, and 5% with chemotherapy. Survival rate was calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method. Overall survival rate of the 80 patients was 54.4% at 5 years. Survival rate by stage were 100% in stage A at 4 years, and 100% in B, 87.5% in C and 40.5% in D at 5 years.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
