[Test for evaluation of the effectiveness of hormone treatment in carcinoma of the prostate].

Cytological examination of superficial epithelial cells systematically sampled at the level of the navicular fossa of the urethra in 61 patients with prosthatic carcinoma that had underwent surgery or that had not been operated, in whom longterm treatment with oestrogens was applied led to the conclusion that the caryopyknotic index shows variable increases, in some cases attaining more than 30-40%, in direct connection with the amount and the duration of administration of the oestrogen substances. The results obtained are encouraging and suggest the possibility to apply an objective test in the application and the evaluation of the efficiency of a hormonal treatment.
