[TNM-system orientated radiological therapy in prostatic carcinoma (author's transl)]

The classification of prostatic cancer according to the TNM-system in contrast to the older staging systems results in a change in radiological therapy planing. The radiological techniques for the classification of N (lymphnodes) and M (metastases) are explained. Together with T (local tumore growth) these categories define the outline for the radiological therapy. The different radiation techniques are explained.
