[Factors influencing prognosis of stage D2 prostatic cancer following endocrine therapy: comparison between short-term cancer death and long-term survival group].
Year: 1990
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: To clarify factors affecting prognosis following endocrine therapy, stage D2 patients who died from prostatic cancer within 3 years and those under well-controlled state longer than 5 years were compared with respect to background factors and response to endocrine therapy. Thirty-five and 18 cases, respectively, were studied. Differences between the two groups were bone pain, anemia, tumor grade, number of bone metastasis, and response to endocrine therapy. Performance status in long-term survival groups tended to be better than that in short-term cancer death groups.
