Most (40.5%) advanced stage prostate cancer patients were 61-70 years old. Most (88.1%) abnormal finding were found in digital rectal examination (DRE). Most (28.6%) patients had 61-80 ml prostate volume with Transrectal Ultrasound (TRUS). Most (47.6%) patients had initial Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) >100 ng/ml with Gleason Score were mostly (81%) poorly differentiated. The bone scan results showed that 30 patients (71.4%) were positive for metastasis. The treatment with Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) show the highest modality (78.6%).
