Abstract
Of 169 patients with a minimum of 4 yr follow-up treated definitively with irradiation for adenocarcinoma of the prostate, 100 had transurethral prostatic resection (TURP) before treatment. In comparing that group with the group who did not have TURP, osseous metastases developed in 28% vs. 22%, respectively. Further stratification by tumor grade and stage failed to show TURP-dependent tumor dissemination, whereas the incidence of bony metastasis increased progressively with decreasing tumor differentiation and advancing tumor stage.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
