Abstract
In Thailand, carcinoma of the prostate gland is the tenth most common malignancy in males. Here we report the incidence of carcinoma of the prostate during 1993-1995, as the previous report in 1990-1992. The average number of patients was about 32 per year. The incidence was common at the age of 70-79 years. The common symptoms were difficulty in urination 51 per vent, hematuria 13 per cent, back and bone pain 9 per cent and urinary retention 18 per cant. Level of serum PSA (prostate specific antigen) is low in stage A, and high in stage C and D. Most patients were in stage C and D, and treatments were TUR (transurethral resection) and orchidectomy with or without hormonal adjuvant therapy. Radical prostatectomy was done in one patient with stage A and he is showing satisfactory recovery.
