Abstract:
Carcinoma of the prostate can be easily detected by rectal examination which is a part of the routine check-up for the early recognition of cancer in males after 45 years. Approximately 14,000 to 16,000 new cases with prostatic carcinoma are found in West-Germany annually. In former times patients with advanced carcinoma were treated with little success. Today the aim is the early detection of the disease in a curable stage. Exact clinical staging and morphological grading is fundamental for optimal therapy.
