Editor's preface Mot du rédacteur en chef

Couverture : Le cancer de la prostate suscite bien des questions. Quels sont les risques d'en être atteint? Vaut-il mieux intervenir rapidement ou surveiller de près l'évolution? Le traitement antiandrogène en vaut-il la peine? Le premier article de notre nouvelle série Principes cliniques transpose les résultats épidémiologiques en mesures du risque réel (pages 491 et 509).
