Results In 92.2%of the patients,the serum PSA dropped under 2 ng/ml shortly after the treatment.The overall 5,10,15 year survival rates were 48.8%,29.7% and 13.3% respectively.For stage C cases,these were 58.2%,38.4%,17.7% and for stage D 25.7%,6.4%,0.The 5 and 10 year survival rates were significantly different between stage C and D(P
