The diagnosis of carcinoma of the prostate depends on well proven urological methods. Computer tomography provides valuable additional information, such as tumour spread beyond the prostate, to lymph nodes and to the skeleton. It is an important requirement for proper radiotherapy and can be used to control treatment. In 14% out of 62 patients is use resulted in a change in staging. These patients, who had originally been asigned to local radiotherapy, were treated by an extended field technique or hormone therapy as a result of the information provided by CT.
前列腺癌的诊断依赖于充分证实的泌尿学方法。计算机断层扫描提供了有价值的额外信息，比如肿瘤扩散至前列腺以外、至淋巴结以及至骨骼的情况。这对于恰当的放射治疗是一项重要要求，并且可用于控制治疗。在62例患者中，有14%的患者因使用该技术而导致分期改变。这些原本被安排进行局部放射治疗的患者，由于CT提供的信息，转而采用扩大野技术或激素疗法进行治疗。
