[Hospitalization rate in relation to severe complications of transrectal prostate biopsy: About 2715 patients biopsied].

Main Objective: To identify hospitalizations directly related to a complication occurring within 30 days following a transrectal prostate biopsy (PBP).

Secondary Objectives: Overall hospitalization rates, mortality rates, potential predisposing factors for complications.

Patients And Methods: Single-center study including all patients who underwent PBP between January 2005 and January 2012.

Technique of Injection of Hyaluronic Acid as a Prostatic Spacer and Fiducials Before Hypofractionated External Beam Radiotherapy for Prostate Cancer.

Objective: To describe a technique combining the implantation of fiducials and a prostatic spacer (hyaluronic acid [HA]) to decrease the rectal toxicity after an image-guided external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) with hypofractionation for prostate cancer and to assess the tolerance and the learning curve of the procedure.

Materials And Methods: Thirty patients with prostate cancer at low or intermediate risk were included in a phase II trial: image-guided EBRT of 62 Gy in 20 fractions of 3.1 Gy with intensity-modulated radiotherapy.
