Clinical trials

Stress urinary incontinence is a significant potential source of morbidity after radical prostatectomy or radiation therapy for prostate cancer. At present, artificial urinary sphincter remains the preferred therapeutic option. However, this technique is not free from complications. In an attempt to avoid such complications, male sling has been suggested for use in patients with mild degrees of stress incontinence.

Description: Multicentre observational study, not randomized. Ambispective character (retro and prospective). Opened to any member of the Asociación Española de Urología (AEU), public and private medicine. Justification: Active surveillance is a strategy proposed to control the overtreatment derived from the opportunist screening in prostate cancer (PCa). Its development in our country is erratic and different in every Center. This database tries to include most of patients included in active surveillance in Spain with a few minimal inclusion criteria. Multicentre registry and follow up of the active surveillance in Spain. Hypothesis: Mortality cancer specific for PCa includible in active surveillance to 15 years is lower than 5 %.
