## Background: Treatment of hormone-refractory prostate carcinoma with chemotherapy is purely palliative, and reported response rates have been low. at the time this study was conducted, there was an urgent need for a trial using potentially efficacious drugs, with quality of life (ql), and serial
## BACKGROUND. Nearly all cases of metastatic prostate carcinoma progress, after hormonal ablation, to a hormone refractory status. To the authors' knowledge no standard chemotherapy for patients with hormone refractory prostate carcinoma (HRPC) exists. In a prospective study, the efficacy and toxi
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND. Higher prostateβspecific antigen (PSA) and alkaline phosphatase (ALKβP) levels predicted worse survival in men with metastatic hormoneβrefractory prostate cancer (HRPC). In the current study, the authors evaluated the combined effects of PSA and ALKβP on survival. ## ME
## Background: The objective of this study was to correlate the failure pattern of localized prostate carcinoma after radiotherapy (rt) with pretreatment (pretx) psa and post-rt nadir psa, using systematic biopsies and serum psa in the assessment of outcome. ## Methods: From january 1990 to febru
