Working Groups
ESOU history
In 2001, the ESOU was established as an official member of the EAU Section Office under the name of the European Society of Oncological Urology. The ESOU organised its first scientific meeting in 2003. Six years later, the ESOU adopted its current title. The section continued to develop themes of evidence-based practice, report recent breakthroughs, reward outstanding European research, and offer multiple benefits to the EAU members and oncological urology specialists from all over the world.
What we do
The ESOU provides educational opportunities for onco-urologists and runs mentorship programmes for the next generation of urology professionals. Throughout all its programmes, the ESOU offers guidance in current treatment, strategies and controversies encouraging the continuous improvement of patient care.
Every year, the ESOU organises a dedicated event that presents highlights in onco-urology and sends speakers to various national and international conferences. The section strongly supports the up-and-coming talent through its various programmes, scholarships, and training.
