TARGET AUDIENCE
This activity is intended for medical oncologists, urologists and radiation oncologists.
OVERVIEW OF ACTIVITY
Cancers of the genitourinary (GU) system affect hundreds of thousands of individuals within the United States each year and account for almost 30% of new cancer diagnoses. Although GU cancers are a diverse array of distinct diseases, tumors of the bladder, kidney (and renal pelvis) and prostate are among the most prevalent and are therefore the topic of extensive ongoing research. As such, the clinical management of these diseases is currently in a state of evolution, necessitating rapid and consistent access to learning opportunities for clinicians who provide care for these patients. Featuring information on the latest research developments along with expert perspectives, this CME program is designed to assist medical oncologists, urologists and radiation oncologists with the formulation of up-to-date clinical management strategies for the care of patients with GU cancers.
