Abstract

Prostate cancer is the most common malignancy in men, but only about 10% of patients die from that cancer. While the incidence rate in the last 30 years has increased fourfold the mortality rate has decreased over the last 20 years [1]. This can be primarily attributed to the early detection of prostate cancer as a result of the common practice of testing the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in peripheral blood. Trendsetting studies indicate that the current diagnostic and therapeutic approach must be fundamentally rethought. Wilt et al. could not show a significant reduction in mortality rate for patients with a localized tumor who underwent a radical prostatectomy compared with patients who were simply monitored [2]. In addition to possible postoperative complications, radical prostatectomy was associated with a significantly higher morbidity rate (incontinence, erectile dysfunction) [2]. As with radical prostatectomy, radiation therapy is also associated with significant side effects, such as loss of potency, in up to 50% of patients [3].
