Patients who were diagnosed the localization of the significant cancer in the prostate. 5. Patients who have received sufficient explanation in participating in this research and obtained written consent at his own will. 6. Patients who have not received endocrine therapy, or more than half a year has passed by the time consent is obtained after the endocrine therapy is completed (interrupted) 7.
