[Prostate cancer: news in 2008].

In 2007, prostate cancer was the subject of a large number of communications in international conferences. The most innovating studies that are likely to modify patient management were selected. The topics included cancer detection, active surveillance, surgery and treatment of urinary incontinence after prostatectomy, radiotherapy, and high-intensity focalized ultrasound (HIFU). Current hormone treatment modalities as well as the new therapies for hormone-resistant prostate cancer management were also evaluated in detail.
