Second Department of Surgery, Helsinki University Central Hospital, Finland.

In this randomized trial 151 patients with locally advanced prostatic carcinoma (T3-4 M0) were treated with orchiectomy, estrogens or radiotherapy. In comparison of these therapy modalities attention was paid to the progression free survival and to the complications associated with these therapies. There was no significant difference in the progression free survival during the four-year follow-up period. The frequency of cardiovascular complications was highest in the estrogen group, where 13 of 50 patients had 19 complications. In the radiotherapy group 19 of 45 patients had bowel or bladder complications.
