Discussion and assessment of pathology and radiology results

PEN-TEST is co-chaired by Mr Benjamin Thomas (MPCCC, Peninsula Health, Royal Melbourne Hospital) and Dr David Campbell (Barwon Health), with an expert group comprising clinical and scientific staff from across Victoria providing opinion on each case. 

PEN-TEST educational and research presentations provide an excellent opportunity to learn more about penile and testicular cancer treatment and care and learn about the most recent research in the rare cancer space. PEN-TEST welcomes referrals from any clinician or multi-disciplinary team in Victoria.

Clinicians, scientists and students (from any organisation) are welcome to apply to attend the meetings, which are held every fortnight from 4.00—5.00pm, starting Monday 15 January 2024.
