Eliciting men's preferences for decision-making relative to treatments of localized prostate cancer with a good or moderate prognosis.

Purpose: In diseases where there is no real consensus regarding treatment modalities, promoting shared decision-making can contribute to improving safety and quality of care. This is the case in low- or intermediate-risk localized prostate cancer (PC) treatment. The aim of this study was to investigate the preferences guiding men's decisions regarding the characteristics of the treatment strategies for PC to help physicians adopt a more patient-centered approach.

Fatty acid profile in peri-prostatic adipose tissue and prostate cancer aggressiveness in African-Caribbean and Caucasian patients.

Background: Genetic and nutritional factors have been linked to the risk of aggressive prostate cancer (PCa). The fatty acid (FA) composition of peri-prostatic adipose tissue (PPAT), which reflects the past FA intake, is potentially involved in PCa progression. We analysed the FA composition of PPAT, in correlation with the ethno-geographical origin of the patients and markers of tumour aggressiveness.

Methods: All patients consecutively treated for PCa by RP in 6 academic institutions between August 2013 and July 2016 were included.

Perioperative and economic analysis of surgical treatments for benign prostatic hyperplasia: A study of the French committee on LUT.

Purpose: To evaluate perioperative cost related to surgical treatments of benign prostatic obstruction (BPO): photoselective vaporization of the prostate (pvp), holmium/thullium laser enucleation (HoLEP/ThuLEP), transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) and open prostatectomy (OP).

Material And Methods: We retrospectively collected data from 237 patients who consecutively underwent a surgical treatment for BPH between January 2012 and June 2013 at nine institutions in France. An economic simulation model was constructed to estimate the cost of hospitalization related to surgical procedure from the hospital perspective and a cost minimization analysis was performed.
