Carcinoma of the Prostate — Non-metastatic Disease

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Clinical Practice in Urology ((PRACTICE UROLOG))

Abstract

The prostate gland is the second most common site of cancer in American men and ranks third in several Western European countries (Segi et al. 1969). In 1988, approximately 99 000 new cases of prostate cancer will be diagnosed in the United States and approximately 28 000 men will die from it (Silverberg and Lubern 1988). It is a disease of ageing men and with the increasing age of the male population worldwide, prostate cancer is expected to become a major public health issue.
