Abstract
From 1973 to 1979, 163 patients with biopsy proven adenocarcinoma of the prostate were treated with a curative intent utilizing megavoltage external beam irradiation at Rush‐Presbyterian‐St. Luke's Medical Center or Lutheran General Hospital. The acturial survival at 5 years for the whole group is 78%. Survival was found to depend on initial stage and grade of disease. Local failure alone occurred in 3% of the patients, yet represented a component of failure in 7%. The effects of stage, grade, dose and field size on survival, patterns of failure and complications are discussed. Cancer 53:37‐43, 1984.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
