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.

Methods: An international, observational, prospective, multicenter study was conducted on male patients with urinary incontinence after prostatic surgery. Patients underwent a 24-hour pad test with a threshold at 250 g.
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.
