Abstract
Over 14 years 111 patients with prostatic cancer underwent attempted curative radiotherapy; full data was obtained on 105 patients. The 5-year actuarial survival rate was 62%, with 54 patients still alive at the time of review. The toxicity rate was 94%, and serious late complications occurred in 4%. 40% of the patients developed symptomatic recurrence, and only 4% of the patients had local recurrence.
