Abstract
In Connecticut there was considerable variation by town of residence in the proportions of patients diagnosed in 1985–1988 receiving transurethral resection only, prostatectomy, and irradiation (without surgery) for local-stage prostate cancer and receiving endocrine surgery for late-stage prostate cancer. Age and socioeconomic variables were examined as predictors of this variation.Keywords
