[Palliative therapy of locally-advanced prostate cancer following radical treatment]

Abstract

Both radical and combined radiotherapy for locally-advanced prostate cancer may be followed by complications involving the upper and lower urinary tracts. Such conditions are generally reversible but still they may turn chronic and even call for surgery. Our study used the data gathered in the course of examination and treatment of 107 patients with prostate cancer T3-4N0-1M0, some of them suffering from post-radical treatment complications.
