Resolution of bony metastases after bilateral orchiectomy for carcinoma of prostate

Urology. 1981 Apr;17(4):353-5. doi: 10.1016/0090-4295(81)90263-6.

Abstract

Resolution of multiple bony metastases after bilateral orchiectomy for carcinoma of prostate was documented by roentgenogram and scintigraphy. This marked improvement was correlated with a decline in serum acid phosphatase, disappearance of soft tissue tumor, and clinical improvement in the patient.
