Abstract: Diagnosis of prostate cancer is suspected if there are abnormalities during digital rectal examination (DRE) and/or steady rising in levels of prostate specific antigen (PSA) and the confirmative diagnosis is established by histopathological confirmation of malignancy by biopsy from the prostate. In this report, 87 years old male diagnosed clinically (DRE), radiologically and biochemically (markedly elevated PSA level) as a case of advanced prostate cancer and started treatment without biopsy. After one month of treatment and then after, the quality of life of the patient was significantly improved, and within 7 months patient showed radiologically and biochemically complete response, so, treatment of advanced prostate cancer might be started without biopsy if there is high probabilities malignancy in exceptional cases
