[Relationship between histological prognostic indices and clinical course in prostatic carcinoma]

The authors have summarized the relationship between histological differentiation indices and survival rate, hormonal sensitivity time, hormonal resistance time for the past 10 years. The classifications have been made according to Dhom and Gleason. 130 patients have been followed from the time of diagnosis to the time of their death. 95 patients died because of tumour. They found that there is a relationship between the survival rate and indices in those cases who were early diagnosed and they had no metastasis. There was no relationship between hormonal sensitivity time, hormonal resistance time and histological prognostic differentiation indices.
