The management of prostatic cancer is becoming a greater challenge as the life expectancy of men increases. Despite the introduction of screening, over half of cases are advanced on presentation and cannot be cured. Palliation is significant with our present armamentation of radiotherapy, hormonal manipulation and chemotherapy for these advanced cases. Leaders in the field of urological oncology try to answer the important questions of which treatment and when. This publication should be of interest to practising urologists and radiotherapists.
