Abstract

In prostatic cancer, PSA velocity is a reliable sign of cancer agressivity. In the metastatic prostatic cancer, there is no difference on survival between an early and late hormonal treatment. In the invasive bladder cancer néo-adjuvant chemotherapy offers a light advantage. In the kidney cancer, anti-angiogenic agents increase the survival. In the non neurogenic overactive bladder, no studies have led to relevant results in using antimuscarinic agent in the first line. The 5 phophodiesterase inhibitors used in the treatment of erectile dysfunction are also effective in the treatment of trouble induced by benign prostatic hyperplasia.
