All epidemiological data predict an endemic rise of prostate cancer
in populations with a high proportion of elderly people, leading to
a major health problem. The only way to stem this evolution is
early detection in organised random- ised trials. Discussion of
this controversial subject is followed by an exhaustive review of
the endocrine mechanisms stimulating prostate growth and the
promising avenues of future research and treatment. Radical
prostatectomy and radiotherapy are presented and analysed. Once
patients are past this stage of cure, a wide array of medical
treatments are available. Endocrine treatment is the first choice,
and the different regimes are reviewed as to their respective
advantages and side effects. An entirely new approach to hormone
refractory diseases completes this overview.
