There is a wide variety of topics covered in this section. The epidemiology, aetiology and clinical evaluation of the deformity in Peyronie's disease is described, followed by a discussion of recent advances in the biology of diabetes‐associated bladder complications. Bladder cancer and its molecular prognostic factors are presented, and the section ends with an in‐depth presentation of an evidence‐based approach to the understanding of the pharmacological class effect in the management of prostatic diseases.
