Abstract

In the course of 14 years (from 1991 to 2004) we had diagnosed the prostate carcinoma in 1082 patients. More than 59% patients were over 70 years old. The most frequent symptoms of prostate carcinoma are frequent urination and backache. At first examination 37% of patients had both prostate lobes involved, while in 39% of patients there were metastases. The most frequent (35%) were in bone system (pelvis and spine); while only in 4% we found metastases in solid organs (lungs and liver). According to the TNM classification, T1 and T2 were diagnosed in 752 (70%) of patients. Pathohistological examination discovered Gleason score 2 in 56% of patients and Gleason score 3 in 35%. In 9% of patients we performed radical prostatectomy. Most often we applied the combination of castration and antiandrogen (55%) and combination of castration and Estracyt (20%).
