Abstract:
This reviewed publication summarized the newly therapeutic procedures in different urological pathologies. In the treatment of benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH), laser KTP with high power is now becoming a standard. For small benign testicle lesions, the surgical biopsy under echographic control avoid radical orchidectomy. In non-invasive bladder cancer, Hexvix fluorescence is gaining a wide acceptance. In invasive bladder cancer, new protocols of neoadjuvant chemotherapy demonstrate an increased interest. In renal cancer, immunomodulation and angiogenesis molecules seem to offer some hopes for advanced tumors. In bladder dysfunctions such as hyperactive bladder, new molecules have widens the range of the available treatments.
