Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Histologically confirmed, previously untreated locally confined adenocarcinoma of the prostate 2. Clinical stage T1b ? T3a, N0, M0 (1997 TNM system) 3. Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) less than 40 ng/ml 4. Estimated risk of lymph node metastases less than 30% 5. World Health Organisation (WHO) performance status zero or one 6.
