VCCC Alliance Genitourinary Oncology Research Showcase

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 through to the management of advanced-stage disease. This session will give GU Oncology researchers from across VCCC Alliance member sites the opportunity to showcase their cutting-edge translational cancer research efforts.

The Genitourinary Oncology Research Showcase will be convened by Associate Professor Niall Corcoran, Research & Education Lead, Genitourinary Cancer, and Associate Professor Ben Tran.

GU cancer-focused researchers and clinician scientists are invited to attend this event, joining peers from across the VCCC Alliance, for a showcase of current translational GU cancer research activity. 

The event goals are to: 

  • Raise awareness of GU Oncology research activities taking place across VCCC Alliance member institutions, and
  • Facilitate collaboration that reduces duplication, to more effectively address clinical challenges and improve patient outcomes. 

Topics covered at this event include:
