Physicians’ Education Resource®, LLC, understands the concerns surrounding the outbreak and spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) currently affecting several countries. After monitoring the situation and information being shared by the CDC, and taking into account current travel restrictions, we have decided that the New York GU 13th Annual Interdisciplinary Prostate Cancer Congress®, and Other Genitourinary Malignancies will go on as scheduled. Be assured that there is nothing more important to us than the safety of our participants; therefore, we have worked with our host hotel and taken steps to implement additional precautions on-site to keep our attendees safe at this year’s conference. We look forward to seeing you there.

2020 Activity Overview


New York GU 13th Annual Interdisciplinary Prostate Cancer Congress® and Other Genitourinary Malignancies will provide a comprehensive overview of genitourinary malignancies with a focus on urothelial, prostate, and renal cancers. Faculty will present brief and insightful presentations covering a range of topics that will include diagnostic molecular pathology, current and evolving therapeutic strategies, and best practices for managing advanced disease. You will have the opportunity to hear the expert faculty as they engage in challenging case debates and gain insight into some of the most challenging issues facing your clinical practice. You will leave with the confidence to maintain current standards of care and implement the best new strategies into your clinical practice.

You won’t want to miss this conference! Now in its 13th year, the 2020 New York GU™ meeting offers you the opportunity to advance your understanding and knowledge of state-of-the-art care for patients with genitourinary malignancies.
