Radical surgery was administered to 63 patients with prostatic carcinoma, of whom 48 were put under total prostatectomy, 13 under cystoprostatectomy and 2 under pelvic exenteration. Adjuvant therapy was given in three forms: pretreatment to 31 patients, castration to 44 patients and pelvic lymphadenectomy to 39 patients. The 7 patients in stage A survived without carcinoma. Of the 25 patients in stage B, recurrence was seen in 7 patients but there were no deaths and the 5- and 10-year cumulative survival rates were both 86%. Of the 24 stage C patients, 8 developed recurrence, 4 died with the disease, and the 5 and 10 year cumulative survival rates were 82% and 55% respectively. There were 7 stage D patients, of whom 3 developed recurrence and 2 died, and these patients had a 5 year cumulative survival rate of 86%. The results demonstrated that total prostatectomy with suitable adjuvant therapy is useful for advanced carcinoma as well as clinically early stage carcinoma.
