Expert faculty will deliver state-of-the-art lectures that will include treatment approaches, clinical trials, biologic and genomic factors and future directions. Kidney and Bladder Cancers will focus on recent advances in the treatment of these diseases and their integration into the multidisciplinary management of patients with early stage, high risk and metastatic disease. Presentations will also discuss emerging controversies and ongoing research aimed at addressing them, as well as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Advances in Prostate Cancer reviews recent advances in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with localized and advanced prostate cancer. Key clinical topics will include the use of biomarkers and modern imaging technologies in the management of early stage prostate cancer as well as advances in the multidisciplinary approach to patients with high-risk, locally advanced, relapsed non-metastatic, and metastatic prostate cancer. Applications of new therapeutic agents, cutting edge radiation technology, combined modality strategies and evolving minimally invasive urologic surgical approaches will also be discussed.
