Abstract

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the United States. Management of prostatic cancer has evolved over the last two decades based on a clearer understanding of the natural history and on improvements in the techniques of radiation therapy, surgery, and hormonal manipillation. Additionally, better methods of prevention and treatment of complications have helped to provide curative therapies for more patients of all ages. Discussion on these topics is followed by a section on special problems in management of elderly patients with prostate cancer.
