Description

Clinical data of 230 patients with prostate cancer that had been registered in Radiation Oncology Greater Area Database (ROGAD) from November 1992 to December 1998 was evaluated. The data of the patients with poorly differentiated histology (G3: 52%) in advanced stage (IV: 73%) were most commonly observed. External dose range to pelvis lymph node area or prostate gland for these patients was still immature in Japan, compared with those of the data of Patterns of Care Study in the United States. Estimated number of prostate cancer patients increased 2.4 times during the last 7 years. (author)
