Popis: Analysis of the evolution of 78 patients with hormonally-treated non-metastatic prostate cancer. During an average follow-up of 62.3 months, local clinical and metastatic progression in 14.1% and 7.7% cases, respectively, was observed. Overall, PSA detected progression of disease in 94.1% cases, with an anticipation which range between 4 and 52 months. Evidence of bone metastatic progression was confirmed in 2.1% of the 286 scintigraphies performed. Following analysis of results, by accepting their indication from a PSA level higher than 100 ng/ml, 97.9% would have been avoided, achieving a 100% sensitivity and 94.1% diagnostic efficacy.
