EMUC20 is now a Virtual Meeting! - PDF Version

In a change for uro-oncology experts across Europe, the 12th European Multidisciplinary Congress on Urological Cancers (EMUC20) will now be a two-day virtual congress. While the organisers had hoped that the EMUC congress could be held physically as it has been in every previous year, the ongoing pandemic has led to a switch to an online, virtual EMUC for 2020.  

EMUC is an annual congress that is co-organised by the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO), the European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology (ESTRO) and the European Association of Urology (EAU).  

EMUC20 will now take place online on 13 and 14 November 2020. The meeting will be free for all members of the EAU, ESMO and ESTRO to attend. Non-members will be able to register at a new, reduced fee. Registration is required for participation. 

The Scientific Programme 

The EMUC congress was originally devised to promote multidisciplinary collaboration between medical oncologists, radiation oncologists and urologists, in particular in setting up multidisciplinary teams. The formation of such teams means that patients benefit from specialists’ knowledge of the latest developments in each other’s fields. In the 11 years since the congress began, this approach has become widely practised throughout Europe. The EMUC congresses continue to be major events on the calendar for (radiation) oncologists and urologists alike and attract some 1400 participants.  

The new online programme will offer as many highlights as possible from the EMUC20 Scientific Programme as originally envisioned. Participants can expect international expert speakers from various disciplines to examine and identify areas of improvement, collaboration, and innovation to provide a more optimal management plan for patients with urological malignancies. Abstracts that explain new research and results of the latest urological cancer studies from oncologists, urologists, radiation oncologists, pathologists, epidemiologists and other medical scientists will be included.
