Summary (1) Carcinoma of the prostate should be attacked as a curable disease. (2) No large proportion of cases will be controlled unless diagnosed by (aspiration) biopsy before diagnosis is possible by rectal touch, even with a sound in the urethra. (3) An operation is proposed which, with low operative mortality, promises to compare favourably with the total prostatectomy of Young. (4) Grave post‐operative radium burn is preventable by proper technic and such prevention is especially easy to assure in the early and curable cases.
