(1941) indicated that the symptoms and general well-being of men with advanced prostate cancer could be improved by orchiectomy or diethylstilboestrol. Orchiectomy is still the mainstay of therapeutic modalities and is the unsurpassed ‘gold standard’. This speaks for itself in attempting to predict future changes in the management of prostatic diseases.
