Consecutive patients (100) who died with a histologic diagnosis of carcinoma of the prostate were evaluated for the cause of death. In 57% of these patients, the direct cause of death was prostate cancer. The remaining 43 patients, while dying with prostate cancer, did not die directly because of this malignancy. If prostate cancer is diagnosed, efforts should be made to cure it.
