Konservative Therapie des Prostatakarzinoms

Zusammenfassung

Das Prostatakarzinom ist die zweit- bzw. dritthäufigste Krebstodesursache aller Männer in den westlichen Industriestaaten (Silverberg 1982). In der Bundesrepublik Deutschland ist das Prostatakarzinom mit über 8000 Todesfällen/Jahr die dritthäufigste Krebstodesursache. Für Männer, älter als 55 Jahre ist das Prostatakarzinom sogar die führende Krebstodesursache. Neben dieser hohen Mortalitätsrate weist das Prostatakarzinom auch eine hohe jährliche Inzidenzrate auf. In den Vereinigten Staaten beispielsweise macht das Prostatakarzinom 17% aller jährlich neu entdeckten Krebserkrankungen bei Männern aus (Silverberg 1982). Umgerechnet auf die derzeitige Lebenserwartung bedeutet dies, daß jeder 20. weiße Amerikaner ein klinisch manifestes Prostatakarzinom entwickeln wird (Seidmann et al. 1978). Die Inzidenzrate bei amerikanischen Farbigen liegt sogar noch höher. Statistisch wird sich bei jedem 10. zu Lebzeiten ein klinisch manifestes Prostatakarzinom entwickeln (Mettlin 1983). Weniger als 1% aller klinisch manifesten Prostatakarzinome werden vor dem 50. Lebensjahr diagnostiziert. Die Inzidenz des Prostatakrebses steigt dann aber mit zunehmendem Lebensalter rapide und schneller an als die jeder anderen Krebsform (Young et al. 1981). Aus diesen epidemiologischen Daten ergibt sich, daß mit der allgemein zunehmenden Lebenserwartung die Inzidenz des klinisch manifesten Prostatakarzinoms weiter ansteigen wird, wie sie auch in den letzten 50 Jahren ständig angestiegen ist (Devesa u. Silverman 1978). Hieraus leiten sich statistische Analysen ab, nach denen das Prostatakarzinom innerhalb der nächsten 20–25 Jahre die häufigste Krebstodesursache aller Männer sein wird.
