    Journal: Z Urol Nephrol; 1987 Mar; 80(3):185-9. PubMed ID: 3604476.
    Abstract:
    This is a study on 38 patients with carcinoma of the prostate stage C. Radical perineal or transpubic surgery was performed on 20 of the patients. The 5 years survival rate was 95% and the 10 year survival rate was 46%. 18 of the patients had either palliative or not treatment at all. The 5 year survival rate here was 76%, and the 10 year survival rate was 22%. Local tumor recurrency after radical surgery occurred in 10% of the cases, whereas a progression of the tumor after palliative treatment only occurred in 72%. After radical surgery 1/8 (12.5%) of the patients died as a result of the carcinoma, whereas having undergone palliative treatment 6/11 (54.5%) died as a result of their tumor.
