Treatment of Stage 1 Carcinoma of the Prostate: A Preliminary Report

T(0) Carcinoma of the Prostate: Influence of Tumor Extent and Histologic Grade on Prognosis of Untreated Patients

“…The patients with focal lesion require no further therapy and perhaps no further follow-up [25]. It has been suggested also that repeated transurethral resection should be done to determine whether unre The reported frequencies of the different histologic grades for T0 cases vary remarkable: the incidence of well-differentiated tumors is on the average 60%, about 10% of which are poorly differentiated [20][21][22]. In the present material 59% of the cases were highly and 6% poorly differentiated tumors.…”

Incidental Adenocarcinoma of the Prostate: A Retrospective Analysis

“…Only 6 (13.0%) patients underwent subsequent radical prostatectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy, including 5 at stage Al and 1 at stage A2, and residual tumors were identified in 4 patients (66.7%). Previous reports of patients with stage A carcinoma treated by radical pros tatectomy have shown that 50 to 87.5% have residual tumor in the surgical specimen [15][16][17], The high rate of residual tumor indicates that patients with stage A dis ease are not entirely free of the risk of progression. So, further aggressive therapy should be considered.…”

The Effect of Parenteral Estrogen versus Orchiectomy on Blood Coagulation and Fibrinolysis in Prostatic Cancer Patients

“…Unfortunately, a high risk of thromboem bolic complications is a clinically important adverse effect of estrogen therapy [1][2][3][4][5]. The exact mechanism responsible for the increased risk of thromboembolism is not known.…”
