Abstrakt: To evaluate the prognostic significance of post-irradiation biopsy results in patients with prostatic cancer, we reviewed the records of 803 patients who had been treated with pelvic lymph node dissection, radioactive gold seed implantation and external beam irradiation. Of the patients 124 had 1 or more biopsies within 6 to 36 months after completion of radiotherapy when there was no evidence of local or distant recurrence of tumor. Patients were followed for a mean of 64 months (range 14 to 175 months) and received no other therapy before relapse.
