Massive Prostatic Carcinoma in Negroes

Abstract
Three cases of massive carcinoma of the prostate in negroes are presented. Investigation and treatment were carried out along conventional lines. There was a very good response to treatment initially in that all tumors shrank and became impalpable. Two patients died of recurrent carcinoma at 1 and 2.75 yr respectively. The third has widespread metastases at present controlled by chemotherapy. The possible difference in the behavior of prostatic carcinoma in negroes are discussed.
