It discusses the basis of hormonal treatment of prostatic cancer. The focus of study is the pharmacological aspects of prostate cancer treatment. Some of the topics covered in the book are the metabolism of testosterone in the prostate, the use of stilbestrol diphosphate in treating prostate cancer, the pathology of prostate cancer, and the cardiovascular complications of the disease. The subjects on orchiectomy and adrenalectomy are covered. The modern radiotherapy is discussed. The text identifies the use of radioactive isotopes. An analysis of the irradiation of the hypophysis is presented. A chapter of the volume is devoted to the cytotoxic agents in prostate carcinoma treatment. Another section of the book focuses on application of cryo-therapy. The book will provide useful information to doctors, oncologists, radiologists, students and researchers.
