Purpose Of This Document: The Oncology Committee of the French Urology Association is proposing updated recommendations for the management of recurrent and/or metastatic prostate cancer (PCa).
Methods: A systematic review of the literature from 2022 to 2024 was conducted by the CCAFU on the therapeutic management of recurrent PCa following local or metastatic treatment, assessing the references based on their level of evidence.
Results: Molecular imaging is the standard approach for assessing recurrence after local treatment and should not delay early salvage treatment.
Background And Objective: The role of anatomical factors in predicting outcomes after radical prostatectomy (RP) remains unclear. This review aims to evaluate the impact of various anatomical factors on the perioperative outcomes of patients undergoing RP for localized prostate cancer (PCa).
Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted through January 2024 using the PubMed/Medline, Embase, and Web of Science databases.

Background And Objective: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a critical role in prostate cancer diagnosis, but is limited by variability in interpretation and diagnostic accuracy. This systematic review evaluates the current state of deep learning (DL) models in enhancing the automatic detection, localization, and characterization of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) on MRI.
Methods: A systematic search was conducted across Medline/PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and ScienceDirect for studies published between January 2020 and September 2023.
