Radiation Therapy for Carcinoma of the Prostate: 5-Year Followup

Abstract
The original series of patients with prostatic carcinoma treated with irradiation as the initial modality was updated. The overall 5 yr survival rate for patients with stage III carcinoma of the prostate was 55%; 26% were alive with residual disease and had postirradiation hormone manipulation, while 29% were alive without metastases at 5 yr.
