Abstract

Cancer progression, following radical prostatectomy, is distinguished by its biological or clinical aspects and is a controversial subject. As adjuvant therapy there is hormonal treatment and radiation therapy or a combination of both. The lack of standardization of the main pathological features of prostate cancer does not allow an accurate valuation of the results from the most important studies. A real efficacy in local or distant control seems to be certain, while the influence on disease-free survival is more uncertain. After a review of the most common options of treatment, the Authors present their results from 107 radical prostatectomies carried out between 1989 and 1994.
