Of 403 consecutive cases of prostatic carcinoma 69 were diagnosed incidentally and were managed with a deferred treatment policy. The mean age at diagnosis was 74 years and mean follow-up was 42 months. Retrospective analysis confirmed that many such patients die of intercurrent disease before symptomatic tumour progression. However, patients aged 70 years or less at diagnosis with diffuse, high grade disease were shown to be at greater risk of symptomatic tumour progression. In this study 60% progressed to skeletal metastases within 3 years. Deferral of treatment in such patients appears inappropriate.
