Carcinoma of the prostate in Israel: some epidemiological and therapeutic considerations
Abstract:
Analysis of the different rate of prostatic cancer in Israel among Jews from various countries of origin reveals some very interesting and marked varieties in incidence, which are studied more closely now. Aggressive, combined treatment for the invasive cases of prostatic cancer has been used since 1975. This was based on orchiectomy, DES, and chemotherapy for the stage D2 disease, and on radiotherapy and hormonal therapy for the stage C, and possibly also the stage D1 disease. Results so far have been very encouraging indeed, and with considerably better results than obtained with the individual, more conventional forms of therapy. Five-year survival in the stage D2 disease has been 63.5%, and 87.6% in the stage C (+D1?) disease. It appears that this approach is more justified, certainly in the advanced stages of this disease.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
