Abstract
Our results suggest that subcapsular orchidectomy is at least as effective as oestrogen therapy in producing long-lasting suppression of plasma testosterone. It has many advantages over oestrogen therapy, so that, like Huggins, we believe it to be the hormonal treatment of choice for patients who develop symptoms from carcinoma of the prostate.Keywords
