Les cancers digestifs = Digestive cancers
Digestive tumors are among the most common malignant tumors and represent a major public health problem. This is one of the areas that has evolved the most in recent years in oncology due to significant progress in diagnostic strategies and therapeutic management. It seems essential that this progress be implemented in the daily practice of physicians treating these tumors. This book, the result of multidisciplinary work, provides a practical and up-to-date approach to the management of malignant digestive tumors. The first chapters are devoted to general and original subjects such as epidemiology, genetics, the management of elderly subjects. A second part approaches in a pragmatic and practical way the principles of diagnostic and therapeutic management by localization. A third part, devoted to the practical realization of chemotherapy, takes stock of new therapeutic approaches, oral or locoregional chemotherapy. Finally, the last part of the book is dedicated to digestive cancer emergencies and the palliative management of these tumors.
Le Cancer du rein = Kidney cancer
Localized tumors are discovered at an earlier stage. The concept of active surveillance emerges. Minimally invasive treatments such as cryotherapy or radiofrequency for selected cases are now available. The indications for elective open partial nephrectomy are expanding and laparoscopic and then robotic partial nephrectomy are being evaluated.

Biologie und epidemiologie der hormonersatztherapie : Diskussionen zur postmenopausalen gesundheit = Biology and epidemiology of hormone replacement therapy : Discussions on postmenopausal health
The advantages and disadvantages of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) are discussed by a group of experts with regard to the epidemiological evidence. However, the focus of the discussion is the problem of breast cancer risk. Among other things, it is shown that the results derived from epidemiological studies do not coincide with the growth characteristics of these tumors, so that further population studies with the inclusion of pathobiological expertise appear necessary. The benefits and risks of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) are discussed by a group of experts with a view towards the evidence provided by recent epidemiological studies. Although all aspects of HRT indications and contra-indications are reviewed, the particular emphasis of this discussion is on breast cancer. Among other things, it is shown that the evidence on breast cancer provided in epidemiological studies does not match the growth characteristics of the tumors, and that further population research incorporating pathobiological assessments is required.
Au-delà de linformation, la prévention : Par l’équipe du département de prévention Épidaure = Prevention goes beyond information : By the Epidaure Prevention department team
The prevention of the most frequent and deadly pathologies (cancers, cardiovascular diseases, accidents) essentially involves modifying risky behavior, a challenge which cannot be resolved by the simple dissemination of information. To be able to modify behavior, it is necessary to take into account, on the one hand, the individuals themselves and what leads them to change their ways of living and, on the other hand, the cultural, social, physical and economic environment. who shapes people and whose modifications are necessary for individual changes. Thus, preventive health actions are effective as long as they strengthen the ability to exercise control over individual and collective health determinants.
