[Results of radiotherapy of prostatic carcinoma as monotherapy]

A report is given of the results of histopathologic examinations of subsequent biopsies carried out on 54 patients with prostate carcinomas and of the clinical development of the prostate carcinomas of 89 patients. All these patients were treated only by therapeutic radiology. Then follows a discussion whether the radiation or the hormone therapy has the preponderant values. The possible complications of the two therapy methods are compared.
