Highly-regarded experts of the EAU Section of Urological Research (ESUR) will share vital research and their valuable insights with you in detail.
During this course, the current status and future perspectives of liquid biopsies will be presented. Furthermore, specific topics in urological malignancies will be addressed. Here, circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is one of the most promising markers in blood and urine from patients with bladder and prostate cancer to guide our therapy decision in the near future. In addition, the distinguished possibilities to use urine markers in urothelial cancer patients will be discussed.
