VCCC Alliance Genitourinary Oncology Research Showcase 2023
09 May 2023
Genitourinary (GU) cancers, including prostate, kidney, bladder and testicular cancer, represent a significant portion of cancer cases in Australia. Across the VCCC Alliance, there is a broad spectrum of innovative research underway, from preclinical studies to the management of advanced-stage disease.
Convened by Associate Professor Niall Corcoran, Research & Education Lead, Genitourinary Cancer, and Associate Professor Ben Tran, this session provided GU Oncology researchers, across VCCC Alliance member sites, the opportunity to showcase their cutting-edge translational cancer research efforts.
