In this paper of the special issue dedicated for the Olympics 2020, we put the light on an exciting facet of exercise-oncology, which may still be unknown to some audience. Accumulating convincing evidences show that exercise reduces cancer progression and recurrence mainly in colon and breast cancer patients.

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.

To determine whether small cell neuroendocrine prostate cancers (NEPCa) emerging after anti-androgen treatments are different from the rarest cases diagnosed de novo, and to identify effective predictive markers.

The 2019 Briganti nomogram was developed to calculate the risk of lymph node invasion (LNI) and identify prostate cancer (PCa) patients diagnosed with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-targeted biopsy who should be considered for an extended pelvic lymph node dissection (ePLND)

Recent voxel-based studies have shown that the dose to specific rectal and urethro-vesical subregions is predictive of toxicities after prostate cancer intensity modulated radiation therapy.

Therapeutic strategies combining irradiation and drugs including chemotherapy, hormonotherapy, but also more recently targeted therapy and immunotherapy are routinely used for cancer treatment.

In a low-statistics PET imaging context, the positive bias in regions of low activity is a burning issue. To overcome this problem, algorithms without the built-in non-negativity constraint may be used. They allow negative voxels in the image to reduce, or even to cancel the bias.
