Inferior vena cava obstruction secondary to adenocarcinoma of the prostate. Role of orchiectomy in treatment.

Abstract
We describe a patient with a radiologically verified inferior vena cava obstruction due to metastatic adenocarcinoma of the prostate who was treated by orchiectomy. The prompt regression of the disease causing the obstruction confirms that orchiectomy alone can be an effective treatment of massive, functionally significant metastatic carcinoma of the prostate.
