Deferred treatment in clinically localised prostatic carcinoma.
TL;DR: A series of 122 patients with a cytological diagnosis of well or moderately differentiated and clinically localised (T1-2) prostatic carcinoma were followed up without any initial anti-tumour therapy and 47 patients died, 38 of them from prostatic cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Initial ploidy and cytological grade had a prognostic value regarding local tumor progression when considered as single predictors and in combination and were of prognosticvalue in untreated prostate cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deferred Treatment of Clinically Localized Low Grade Prostate Cancer: The Experience From A Prospective Series at The Karolinska Hospital
TL;DR: Deferred treatment appears to be an acceptable option for patients with tumor clinically confined to the prostate and a life expectancy of 10 years or less.
Journal ArticleDOI
The natural course of low grade, non-metastatic prostatic carcinoma.
TL;DR: Although the number of patients developing metastases and dying of prostatic carcinoma was low, most tumours seemed to progress locally, and Cox's regression analysis showed that the initial cytological grade of the tumour was of prognostic importance, but initial local tumour stage, prostatic acid phosphatase activity and age had no statistically significant prognostic value.
