French epidemiological data have shown a heterogeneous distribution of the risk of mortality from prostate cancer according to region. The main objective is to describe the distribution of prostate cancer stages when first line hormonal therapy is introduced (overall and by region).

Degarelix or GnRH agonist for treatment of prostate cancer according to physicians current practice
Hôpital Robert Boulin

Estimated percentage of different prostate cancer stages (overall and by region)
The stages of prostate cancer are classified as locally advanced, metastatic and biological recurrence.
Time frame: During a single consultation when first-line prostate cancer hormone therapy is started
The characteristics of the patients with prostate cancer by region
Characteristics are described by demography, tumour characteristics, Gleason score, D'Amico score, prostate specific antigen (PSA), Testosterone and treatment history
Time frame: During a single consultation when first-line prostate cancer hormone therapy is started
The influence of regional factors on staging of prostate cancer
The regional influence will be demonstrated by modelling the probability of a patient being at one of the cancer stages (locally advanced cancer, metastatic cancer, biological recurrence).
Time frame: During a single consultation when first-line prostate cancer hormone therapy is started
