title: Peyronie's disease: the epidemiology, aetiology and clinical evaluation of deformity.
abstract: There is a wide variety of topics covered in this section. The epidemiology, aetiology and clinical evaluation of the deformity in Peyronie's disease is described, followed by a discussion of recent advances in the biology of diabetes-associated bladder complications. Bladder cancer and its molecular prognostic factors are presented, and the section ends with an in-depth presentation of an evidence-based approach to the understanding of the pharmacological class effect in the management of prostatic diseases.
