Abstract
Severe symptomatic prostatic calcification was seen in 3 patients who had carcinoma of the prostate treated initially with transurethral resection, followed in 2-4 wk by definitive radiation therapy. This complication is probably preventable if an interval of 6 wk is allowed between transurethral resection of the prostate and radiation therapy.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
