Objective: The objective of the French Urology Association Cancer Committee is to propose an update of the recommendations for the diagnosis and management of prostate cancer (PC).
Methods: A systematic review of the literature from 2020 to 2022 was conducted by the CCAFU on the diagnosis and therapeutic management of localised PC, while evaluating the references and their levels of evidence.
Results: The recommendations specify the genetics, epidemiology and means of diagnosing prostate cancer, as well as the notions of screening and early detection. MRI, the gold standard imaging examination for localised cancer, is recommended before prostate biopsies are performed. The transperineal approach reduces the risks of infection. The therapeutic methods are described and recommended according to the clinical context. Active surveillance is the gold standard of treatment for tumours with a low risk for progression. Early salvage radiotherapy is recommended in case of biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy. Imaging, particularly molecular imaging, helps to guide the decision-making in the event of biochemical recurrence after local treatment, but should not delay early salvage radiotherapy in the event of biological recurrence after radical prostatectomy.
Conclusion: This update of the French recommendations should help to improve the management of patients with PC.

Objective: To evaluate the outcomes and efficacy of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) using the Versius robotic surgical system, aiming to provide comprehensive data on perioperative outcomes, postoperative recovery, and complications.
Patient And Methods: All cases of RARP using the CMR Versius platform performed at Cairo University Hospital over a two-year period were enrolled in this study. All patients had pathologically confirmed prostate cancer in both localized and locally advanced stages.

Cancer is a major global health issue that is usually treated with multiple therapies, such as chemotherapy and targeted therapies like immunotherapy. Immunotherapy is a new and alternative approach to treating various types of cancer that are difficult to treat with other methods. Although immune checkpoint inhibitors have shown promise for long-term efficacy, they have limited effectiveness in common cancer types such as breast, prostate, and lung.

Oligorecurrent prostate cancer (PCa) can be treated with metastasis-directed therapy (MDT), which may be performed using radioguided surgery (RGS) as an experimental approach. These procedures have shown promising outcomes, largely due to the high lesion detection rate of positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT). We present a case series of patients who underwent RGS following robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).

Incidence and Risk of Thromboembolic and Cardiovascular Adverse Events with PARP Inhibitor Treatment in Patients with Metastatic Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer: A Systematic Review and Safety Meta-analysis.

Department of Medical Oncology, IRCCS San Raffaele Hospital, Milan, Italy.
Background And Objective: PARP inhibitor (PARPi) treatment is an effective option for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). There are few data on the cardiovascular and thromboembolic safety of these agents in mCRPC, as cardiovascular and thromboembolic adverse events (AEs) are uncommon. Our aim was to analyze the incidence and risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), thromboembolic events, and hypertension with PARPi therapy in mCRPC.
