“…In 1900, Wood examined 193 case reports of vasectomy as treatment for prostatic enlargement and found that only 15% showed an improvement in function of urination, but 67% manifested some form of ‘general improvement’. In this series, the mortality rate was 6.7% [ 26].…”

“…Att man övervägde vasektomi istället för674 Freyer 1909, s. 965. motiverades även av det motstånd vissa läkare och kirurger kände mot att kastrera och oron för hur en kastrering påverkade kroppens allmäntillstånd. Till exempel publicerade den amerikanske kirurgen Alfred Wood i maj 1900 en artikel där han redogjorde för flera av de större sammanställningar som tidigare gjorts och därtill redogjorde han för de fall som rapporterats men inte tagits upp i White eller Cabots sammanställningar 679. I sammanställningen tar Wood upp von Bruns 148 fall varav 74 var amerikanska, 33 från England, 21 från Tysland, 12 från Sverige och Norge, 4 från Frankrike och Ryssland sammanlagt och 4 fall som var von Bruns egna.…”

The discovery of endocrine therapy of diseases of the prostate can be regarded as one of the most important events in the history of medicine and in urology in particular. This article delivers an overview about scientists and clinicians involved in this work during the last 200 years. A close historical relation between the endocrine therapy of benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer can be recognized. The historical framework between the work of John Hunter in the late eighteenth century, that of Charles Brenton Huggins in the late 1930s, and that of Andrew Schally in the 1970s has been assembled herein. With respect to all the other men who contributed greatly to this medical achievement, e.g., Edward L. Keyes and Russell S. Ferguson, with their first report on radioorchiectomy for the treatment of metastatic prostate cancer in 1936, this historical vignette is intended to make them part of the historical record.
