    AbstractThe exact etiology of adenocarcinoma of the prostate gland remains an enigma. However, there appears to be a clear-cut mandate to search for, and to eradicate if possible, all infections of the genital tract including prostatitis. Diets with adequate zinc or zinc supplements should be considered. Sexual practices could be more closely scrutinized. Finally, an urgent appeal is made for intense investigation of this malady.Two cases of prostatic carcinoma are presented and pertinent literature is reviewed.
