Abstract
When I was asked by our Secretary to speak to-day on the role of radiotherapy in the management of carcinoma of the prostate, I remarked that he might have chosen a more cheerful subject. He replied that it is good for us to discuss such problems, if only to retain a proper humility. This objective will, I am sure, be achieved. My impression was that carcinoma of the prostate occurred in the “retired age” groups whose working day was over, and who had lived the years of the psalmist's quota. Impressions, however, are liable to be misleading and I may have been biased by my experience in the last two years in a war emergency department to which many elderly and advanced cases were referred.
