Abstract

SUMMARY: Eighty‐one cases of carcinoma of the prostate are reviewed, of which fifty‐three were treated by a combination of surgery, stilbœstrol, and radiotherapy, and twenty‐eight by a combination of surgery and stilbœstrol therapy. There were no adverse effects due to radiotherapy, which was found to be beneficial in cases relapsing after œstrogen therapy.
