Abstract

Prostate cancer is the most frequent malignancy in elderly men. Common presentations include asymptomatic prostate nodules, unexplained bone pain or bladder outlet obstruction. Histologic grading clearly influences the prognosis. Either potency-saving subcapsular prostatectomy or radiation therapy is effective in treating localized disease. New prospects for hormonal therapy of metastatic prostate cancer include antiandrogens and gonadotropin-releasing analogs.
