Abstract
Carcinoma of the Prostate GlandThe treatment of cancer of the prostate gland by attacking the endocrine balance of the patient rests on firmer physiologic grounds, is better understood and yields more predictable results than the hormonal treatment of mammary carcinoma. The past six years have permitted a relatively long-term follow-up of the first patients treated by these methods, as well as an opportunity to study large series of cases. These observations have contributed much to the establishment of a rational basis for the palliative treatment of advanced prostatic cancer.4–9, 125 126 127 128 129 130 131 132 133 134 135 136 137 138 139 140 141 142 143 144 145 146 147 148 149 150 151 152 153 154 155 156 157 158 159 160 The concepts are based primarily on the fundamental work of . . .Keywords
