Abstract

Of 815 patients with prostatic carcinoma registered in Tokai Urological Cancer Registry between 1989 and 1991, 683 patients followed up until April to July 1992 were analyzed. The patients were between 48 and 94 years old (mean 73.2). The clinical stage was A in 96 (14.1%), B in 118 (17.3%), C in 117 (17.1%) and D in 352 (51.5%) patients. The histological study well differentiated adenocarcinoma in 150 (22%) patients, moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma in 305 (44.6%), and poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma in 194 (28.4%) patients. There were 12 undifferentiated adenocarcinomas and 22 were not classified. The incidence of patients with poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma increased with the progression of clinical stage. Hormonal therapy was the main treatment (92.8%) and a variety of hormonal therapies with surgery or chemotherapy were attempted through out the clinical stages. Overall survival rate at 5 years was 48.6%. The 5-year survival rage for stage A, B, C and D carcinoma was 84.7, 93.1, 51.8 and 30.3%, respectively. Significant differences in the survival of patients were noted among stage A or B, stage C and stage D (Logrank test: p < 0.0001). The 5-year survival rate was 70.2% for well differentiated, 53.0% for moderately differentiated, and 32.6% for poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma (Logrank test: p < 0.0001). Disease-specific death was observed in 128 patients (66%), and cardio- or cerebrovascular death accounted for 16 (8%) deaths.
