summary

The usefulness of ultrasonography with sector ox transrectal head was ana­lysed in the diagnosis and monitoring of patients with prostatic carcinoma. In each treatment group (radiotherapy, castration, hormonal treatment) a gradual de­crease of the voiume of the prostatic tumour was oboserved. The greatest reduction of prostatic volume .(40.0%) was noted in cases treated by castration, less pro-nounced reduction (29.0%) was in the hormonally treated group, and least (25.0%) in the cases treated by radiotherapy. USG examination is though to be a sensitive, accurate and non-invasive method suitable for monitoring of treatment results in this disease.
