Of the 21 patients 8 were alive without clinical evidence of cancer for 29 to 97 months after radiation therapy. The best survival was in the 11 patients referred because of incomplete excision. Of these 11 patients 9 were alive, 6 without cancer, and 2 were dead of intercurrent disease without evidence of cancer. Of the 10 patients with palpable local recurrence 2 were alive without evident neoplasm, while 2 died of intercurrent disease without cancer. Acute treatment-associated symptoms occurred in 11 of the 21 patients. Generally, these symptoms were mild and responded to conservative, symptomatic management. Two serious complications were recorded. © 1975 by The American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.FiguresReferencesRelatedDetailsCited byForman J, Meetze K, Pontes E, Wood D, Shamsa F, Rana T and Porter A (2018) THERAPEUTIC IRRADIATION FOR PATIENTS WITH AN ELEVATED POST-PROSTATECTOMY PROSTATE SPECIFIC ANTIGEN LEVELJournal of Urology, VOL. 158, NO. 4, (1436-1440), Online publication date: 1-Oct-1997.Freeman J, Lieskovsky G, Cook D, Petrovich Z, Chen S, Groshen S and Skinner D (2018) Radical Retropubic Prostatectomy and Postoperative Adjuvant Radiation for Pathological Stage C (PCN0) Prostate Cancer from 1976 to 1989: Intermediate FindingsJournal of Urology, VOL. 149, NO. 5 Part 1, (1029-1034), Online publication date: 1-May-1993.Kwon E, Loening S and Hawtrey C (2018) Radical Prostatectomy and Adjuvant Radioactive Gold Seed Placement: Results of Treatment at 5 and 10 Years for Clinical Stages A2, B1 and B2 Cancer of the ProstateJournal of Urology, VOL. 145, NO. 3, (524-531), Online publication date: 1-Mar-1991.Anscher M and Prosnitz L (2018) Re: Postoperative Radiotherapy of the Prostate for Patients Undergoing Radical Prostatectomy with Positive Margins, Seminal Vesicle Involvement and/or Penetration through the Capsule, by D.
