MATERIAL: This cross-sectional cohort survey was conducted during 6 months. Participants completed a questionnaire of 15 items on the first prescription of an androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), the parameters prescribed for monitoring and information provided to patients. RESULTS: The median age of the 1100 enrolled patients was 75 years (range: 51-98 years); 245 patients (29.0%) were metastatic and 411 (39.4%) had a Gleason score >/= 8. Prior to the treatment initiation, the dosage of the total testosterone was not very often performed (4.8%). Associated comorbidities such as arterial hypertension (53.6%) and hypercholesterolemia (31.8%) did not constitute a barrier to the initiation of ADT, alone (60.5%) or combined with anti-androgens (61%). According to the recommendations of the French Association of Urology (AFU), fasting glycemia was required in 427 patients (41.1%), lipid profile in 380 (36.1%), a blood count in 219 (21.1%) and bone densitometry in 111 (10.8%). The advice given to patients involved diet and lifestyle rules (61%). The potential risks of adverse events (AEs) mentioned were mainly hot flashes (95.5%). CONCLUSION: Some recommendations seem insufficiently followed by the French specialists on information and monitoring procedures of ADT, especially in the cardiovascular field.
