| Zusammenfassung: | Seventy-four new cases of prostatic carcinoma treated between 1981 and 1985 were analyzed. The patients were between 40 and 86 years old with a mean age of 72.2 +/- 7.7 years. More than 70% of the patients had clinical stage C and D carcinoma. All cases proved histologically to be adenocarcinoma of the prostate. Eighteen patients had well differentiated, 21 moderately differentiated and 35 poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. Various hormonal treatments were performed as the initial treatment in 88.9% (64/72) of the cases. Among them, 37 cases were treated by estrogen and 22 cases by luteinizing hormone releasing hormone analogues. Fourteen of 64 patients (21.9%) who received hormonal treatment discontinued the therapy within 10.1 +/- 9.1 months because of relapse of the disease or no therapeutic response. Salvage therapy following hormonal treatment were chemotherapy (9/14) and radiation therapy (4/14). During the 5-year follow up 12.1% (9/74) of the patients died due to prostatic carcinoma |
