4th WCUS-AUA,2009

The World Chinese Urological Society (WCUS) meeting in Chicago, 2009

 

The World Chinese Urological Society (WCUS)           has been very active at the AUA annual meetings. The number of participants has increased from 300 at the 1^st meeting held in Atlanta, Georgia in 2006 to more than 500 at the 3^rd meeting held in Orlando, Florida in 2008. Chinese-speaking urologists and urologic scientists attended the meeting from all corners of world including China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macao, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Australia, Europe and North America.

 

Based on the suggestions from previous participants we will have several new and exciting features at the 2009 Chicago meeting. These include more time for the participants to mingle and make new friends at the poster session, expert panels to discuss prostatitis and cystitis, two commonly mismanaged conditions in China, as well as highlight sessions on various subspecialties that will help the participants to be familiar with the state-of-the-art of urology.

 

The meeting will begin as usual with updates by the presidents of the urological associations of China, Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong and Macao. This will be followed by a two-hour poster session so that the participants have plenty of time to discuss the science and practice of urology as well as getting to know one another. Following this session, experts from different regions will present their practical approaches to prostatitis which is a very common, yet, controversial topic in China. The afternoon session will begin with a panel discussion of cystitis glandularis that has caused a management dilemma in China recently. In light of the overwhelming information and limited time during the AUA, the meeting will invite accomplished urologists and scientists to give the AUA abstract highlights for kidney, bladder and prostate cancers, BPH, voiding dysfunction/female urology, sexual dysfunction, and infertility.  We hope this will stimulate the members of WCUS to participate in the remaining AUA scientific activities. 

 

The annual AUA-WCUS meeting is designed as a platform for effective communication among Chinese-speaking urologists and urological scientists. However, it will also serve as a venue to share the advancements in basic and clinical research from the countries and regions mentioned above with the AUA members from other parts of the world since the slides and posters will be in English.  We certainly welcome you to attend this meeting and to meet the best and brightest Chinese colleagues.
