Objectives: The Hérault Tumor Registry (RTH) is a general registry qualified by the national committee of registries since 1987. The objective of this study is to present the evolution of the epidemiology of bladder cancer (stage≥T1) in the Hérault department based on data collected by the RTH over a period from 1987 to 2019., Material and Methods: We analyzed trends in bladder cancer incidence in Hérault between 1987 and 2019 by sex, age, and stage, as well as mortality trends between 1987 and 2017. For the years 2018-2019, which are the last two years validated by the registry, we described relative frequencies, sex ratio, mean and median age at diagnosis, cumulative risk, stages at diagnosis, pathology data, and primary treatments. Observed and net survival data are analyzed for those diagnosed between 01/01/2000 and 12/31/2015 with a point date of 06/30/2018., Results: In 2018-2019, bladder cancer was the 7th most common cancer in Hérault (5th in men and 12th in women) with an incidence sex ratio of 3.9 men to one woman. The mean age at diagnosis was 75.3 years for men and 77.8 years for women. The probability of having bladder cancer before the age of 75 years was 1.68% for a man (1/59) and 0.34% for a woman (1/295). Urothelial carcinomas accounted for 90.7% of cancers. Between 1987 and 2019, bladder cancer incidence TSMs (worldwide standardized rates) decreased by 0.8% per year in men and remained stable in women. Mortality TSMs between 1987 and 2017 followed the same trends with a decrease of 2.2% per year in men and stability in women. For the 3304 bladder cancers diagnosed between 01/01/2000 and 12/31/2015, the observed 5-year survival was 38% (34% in women and 38% in men)., Conclusions: Bladder cancer incidence and mortality rates have decreased slightly in men but remain stable in women in the Hérault. Registries collect only a limited number of variables for each patient. In 2018 the Hérault Registry Specialized in Onco-Urology (RHESOU) was created, to have comprehensive data., (Copyright © 2023.

Aim: Prostate cancer is a frequent disease and one of the main treatments used is androgen deprivation therapy, which is a therapy with disabling side effects. Non-pharmacological interventions (NPIs) are evidenced based, non-invasive interventions on human health. They are classified into five categories (physical, psychological, nutritional, digital, elemental). The NPIs sphere is booming and still remains underused in this context., Methods: A systematic review concerning randomized controlled trials was executed according to the PRISMA guidelines (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses). We used the "Medline" and "Kalya Research" databases. After searching and selecting eligible publications, we included 37 randomized controlled trials., Results: The majority of articles concerned physical NPIs with 30 clinical studies, 3 publications dealt with nutritional NPIs, 2 with psychological NPIs and 2 articles concerned elemental NPIs. No publication about digital NPI was found. All of the studies aimed to manage and improve the side effects of treatment. No elemental NPI has demonstrated benefit. Only one psychological NPI and one nutritional NPI were effective. Five types of physical NPI protocols have shown efficacy. The main benefits related to physical abilities, body composition, osteoporosis, quality of life, fatigue, reduced cardiovascular risk and finally anxiety and depression., Conclusion: Non-pharmacological interventions, especially physical ones, are effective in managing and reducing the side effects associated with androgen deprivation therapy and should be offered to patients in this context., (Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Masson SAS.

Objectives: The literature review shows a low adhesion of urologists to the recommendations of learned societies in the imaging work-up of localized prostate cancer (CaP), especially for low and intermediate risks of the D'Amico classification. We analyzed the adhesion of urologists in the Hérault region (France) to the CCAFU 2016/2018, 2018/2020 recommendations., Material and Methods: From the Hérault Onco Urology Registry (RHESOU) database, we identified localized CaP diagnosed between 01/01/2017 and 31/12/2019, and then classified them into 3 distinct risk groups according to the D'Amico classification. We compared the imaging workup performed by each patient to the CCAFU 2016/2018, 2018/2020 recommendations, according to the risk group., Results: Of the 2,049 localized CaPs included in our study, 591 belonged to the low-risk group, 1059 to the intermediate-risk group, and 399 to the high-risk group. In the low-risk group 45.2% of the cases did not follow the CCAFU 2016/2018, 2018/2020 recommendations in the imaging workup, 77.3% in the intermediate-risk group and 80.9% in the high-risk group. For our entire study, 1,408 patients (68.7%) had an imaging workup that did not follow the CCAFU recommendations., Conclusion: Our results show a low adhesion of urologists to the CCAFU recommendations in the imaging assessment of localized CaP. The causes of this non-adhesion are multifactorial and difficult to analyze., (Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.)

Introduction: Prostatectomy (PT) is a common procedure performed by many urologists. In 2018, 20,207 prostatectomies were performed in France, and few studies evaluated the perioperative habits of urologists. As part of writing guidelines for enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) we wished to evaluate practice of urologists in their hospital management of a prostatectomy., Materiel and Methods: A questionnaire was sent by Survey Monkey in June and July 2018 to all urologists who are members of the French Association of Urology., Results: One hundred and sixty seven urologists (14%) answered the questionnaire, 62% have private practice. The average number of operators per center performing PT was 4, with a median number of 70 interventions (0 to 486) per center in 2018. Open surgery is still gold standard (39.13%), followed by the robot-assisted transperitoneal laparoscopic (34.78%) and standard laparoscopic (24.22%). Alimentation, like first stand-up, was re-established on the first post-operative day, and the average hospital stay was 4±2 nights. The removal of the bladder catheter was most often performed at home by nurse (49.06%), one week after surgery. Only 10.06% of urologists systematically perform a cystography before removal urinary catheter., Conclusion: The perioperative management of prostatectomy in France is relatively homogeneous, between urologists. The length of hospital stay remains important and could be reduced by proposing an ERAS protocol as has been obtained for cystectomy., Level of Evidence: III., (Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Masson SAS.

Introduction: The enhanced recovery program (ERP) is a management mode whose objective is to reduce the risk of complications and allow the patient to recover more quickly all its functional capacities and to reintegrate at most quickly and safely in his usual environment. This intentionally synthetic document aims to disseminate in the urological community the main points of the ERP recommendations for cystectomy. This work, coordinated by AFU, involves several other partners. The full document is available on the "Urofrance" website. Another article will follow on organizational measures., Method: The development of the recommendations is based on the method "formalized consensus of experts" proposed by the HAS. The report is based on a systematic review of the literature (January 2006-May 2017), two rounds of iterative quotations and a national proofreading. Levels of proof of conclusions and gradation of recommendations are based on the HAS grid., Results: The bibliographic strategy made it possible to retain 298 articles. Only the recommendations that obtained a strong agreement after the two rounds of iterative listing were retained. The recommendations presented here are in chronological form (before, during, after hospitalization). Twenty-six key points on the technical and organizational measures of ERP have been identified., Conclusion: The result of the literature review, supplemented by expert opinion, suggests a significant clinical interest in the application and dissemination of ERP for cystectomy, despite the limited data available for this indication., (Copyright © 2018 Elsevier Masson SAS.

Purpose: Postoperative serum C-reactive protein (CRP) can be measured after major abdominal surgery to predict of complications at postoperative day (POD) 4. However, in urology, no studies have been conduced to analyze the role of CRP after radical cystectomy. The present study aims to analyze the relationship between a high postoperative level of CRP and the presence of complications after radical cystectomy for cancer., Materials and Methods: This multicenter retrospective study included 313 patients treated with radical cystectomy for cancer between January 2013 and July 2016. Among the patients, 57.5% of patients received urinary diversion using a Bricker ileal conduit, 30.5% an orthotropic ileal neobladder, and 11.5% had an ureterocutaneostomy., Results: Three hundred and thirteen patients were included (mean age 68.1±9.2 years). Among the patients, 26.5% had grade≥2 complications, according to the Clavien-Dindo classification. In multivariate analysis, only CRP level at POD 4 predicted the risk of a complication (P<0.001). CRP>150mg/L at POD 4 was strongly associated with a risk of a postoperative complication after a cystectomy (OR=81.42, 95% CI [25.6-258.3], P<0.001). CRP assessed on POD4 was reliable at ruling out the existence of an infectious complications with a negative predictive value of 0.94. The main limitation of our study was it observational design., Conclusions: CRP at POD4 with a threshold of 150mg/L would reliably predict the risk of postoperative complications after cystectomy. Monitoring postoperative CRP could help adapt rehabilitation protocols after radical cystectomy and also the early management of complications., (Copyright © 2018 Elsevier Masson SAS.

Introduction: Despite a decreasing number of radical prostatectomies in France, the number of robot-assisted surgeries increases. The objective of this work is to assess the interest of robotic prostatectomy before asking a specific funding from health authorities., Material and Methods: A systematic review of the literature on PubMed was performed. Prospective studies and meta-analyses comparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), laparoscopic (LRP) and open surgery (OP) were selected., Results: There are only two randomized clinical trials comparing RARP and LRP. Erectile function was significantly better after RARP than after LRP. Compared to OP, sexuality evaluation, based on meta-analyses, was significantly better at 12 months and the absolute risk of erectile dysfunction significantly decreased. Continence after RARP was significantly better than LRP 3 months after surgery. Compared to OP, continence results were discordant, sometimes significantly in favor of RARP, sometimes similar. The rate of positive margins was similar whatever the technique. The long-term oncological outcomes were similar. In terms of perioperative complications, no significant difference was observed between RARP and LRP or OP., Conclusion: RARP provides same oncological outcomes as the open and laparoscopic approach. Continence and sexuality are better after RARP than after laparoscopic or open surgery. However, no randomized study comparing RARP and OP is available., (Copyright © 2016 Elsevier Masson SAS.
