Mon, 25 Oct 2010

October 2010- New studies in bladder and prostate cancer conducted by researchers in Austria and Poland won the top prizes at the recently concluded 10th Central European Meeting held over the weekend in Bratislava, Slovakia.

"We could have given 30 prizes this year, such is the quality of the submissions. Those we finally selected are excellent and original in their approach and insights," said Professors Michael Marberger and Jan Breza who handed out the prizes to the six winners.

The two studies bested 177 other submissions for the top prizes.The six winning abstracts will also be displayed during the five-day Annual EAU Congress in Vienna from March 18-22, 2011. All six winners received a total cash prize of �5,000 from the sponsors.
