2nd Annual Pediatric, Adolescent and Young Adult Urologic Oncology Conference

Aurora, CO US
June 2, 2023 to June 3, 2023

The Pediatric, Adolescent and Young Adult Urologic Oncology Conference is an opportunity for urology physicians and fellows to expand their understanding and education in the evaluation, diagnosis and treatment of this specialized area. Pediatric urologic oncology has traditionally been considered a minute aspect of routine pediatric oncology, however, recent reviews of pediatric urology practice demonstrates the proportion dedicated to oncology is more widespread than provided in traditional education in fellowship training. 

Over the course of this two day conference, learners will better understand and assess the management of oncology issues in pediatric urology practice, evaluate standards of care for children, adolescents and young adults with urologic malignancy, and improve comprehension of current surgical guideline competence with a focused review of current National Comprehensive Cancer Network, American Urological Association and Children’s Oncology Group guidelines.
