Abstract

During the last 9 years, 1,892 patients underwent surgery of the prostate. Benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) accounted for 1,812 cases, and prostatic cancer 80 cases. In the case of BPH, transurethral resection was done in 1,645 cases, cryosurgery in 136 cases, and suprapubic prostatectomy in 31 cases. Latent cancer was detected in 54 (3.3%) of the BPH cases. The average patient age of the patients with latent cancer (73.6 +/- 6.9 years) was higher than that of those without latent cancer (69.5 +/- 7.7 years). This suggested a significant relationship between the age of the patient and the occurrence of latent cancer.
