Résumé

Les cancers primitifs de l’urètre sont rares. Les données de la littérature sont limitées, et les recommandations sont de grades B et C. Un traitement conservateur peut être proposé pour les lésions localisées de l’urètre antérieur. Les lésions localement évoluées et celles de l’urètre postérieur relèvent d’une thérapie multimodale qui doit être discutée en réunion multidisciplinaire.

Abstract

Urethral carcinoma is a rare cancer. The published data on this topic are limited. Evidence-based information are of grade B and C. Sparing surgery can be an option for localized anterior tumors. For localized, advanced, and posterior tumors the treatment must be discussed by a multidisciplinary team, but the optimal treatment remains to be defined.
