Annual Current Trends in Genitourinary Malignancies 2010

The Seventh Annual Current Trends in Genitourinary Malignancies regional symposium is designed to provide state-of-the-art information on the clinical management of bladder, kidney, prostate, and testicular cancers. Current evidence-based treatment approaches to all stages of bladder cancer, including surgery, radiation therapy, neoadjuvant therapy, and systemic chemotherapies and targeted therapies, will be discussed with an emphasis on practical clinical context to facilitate integration into practice.

The benefits and risks of alternative therapeutic strategies for early-stage renal cell carcinoma will be addressed, along with expert insights on relevant data for the selection of appropriate therapy for individual patients with advanced clear cell and non–clear cell renal cell carcinoma in multiple settings. A debate will highlight current evidence concerning the management of early-stage testicular cancer using alternative therapeutic approaches.

Participants will review recent data on active surveillance, adjuvant therapy, immunotherapy, and emerging systemic therapies for the clinical management of patients with all stages of prostate cancer. In addition, the symposium will include updates on relevant ongoing clinical trials evaluating new therapeutic regimens for the treatment of genitourinary malignancies. This interactive symposium will include didactic sessions, case-based learning, and panel discussions with leading faculty who will offer their opinions regarding the clinical challenges that practicing physicians face today.
