The 5th World Chinese Urological Society (WCUS) meeting in San Francisco, 2010.
Since the inception of the 1st World Chinese Urological Society (WCUS) meeting at the AUA annual meeting held in Atlanta, Georgia in 2006, the WCUS has become one of the most active sub-specialty societies at the AUA. The initial participants included members from China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Australia and North America. This was expanded to include people from Europe at the 2nd WCUS meeting held in Anaheim, California in 2007. At the upcoming 5th Annual WCUS meeting in San Francisco, we anticipate that more than 500 Chinese-speaking urologists and urologic scientists will be in attendance from all corners of the world including urologists from Mongolia who will be joining the family of the WCUS.
The 5th Annual WCUS meeting will be condensed from the previous full day meeting to a full morning session with a noon poster assembly to allow plenty of time for all participants to mingle and make new friends. The theme of the 2010 meeting is the challenges for World Chinese Urologists, particularly facing the injuries from natural disasters and wars. These features are emphasized in this meeting from the lessons learned by the devastating earth quakes in China, 2008 and in Taiwan, 2009.
The meeting will begin with a session to discuss experiences treating urethral strictures, a very common trauma disorder in Asia. Experts from China, Hong Kong and North America will review the evidence-based information and give their personal experiences regarding ideal surgical techniques for various complex urethral strictures or disruption. Following this session, two urologists with military backgrounds from China and North America will present their first hand experience facing natural disasters and war which may confront us during our careers. In light of the overwhelming information and limited time during the AUA, we will continue to 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. The AUA abstract highlight session in the last WCUS meeting was regarded highly by participants to catch the cutting edge of the basic and clinical science of urology.
Again, holding the WCUS meeting during the annual AUA meeting serves as a venue to share the advancements in basic and clinical research in urology from the countries and regions mentioned above with the AUA members from other parts of the world. Even though our goal is to provide a platform for effective communication among Chinese-speaking urologists and urological scientists, the slides and posters will be presented in English, and we certainly welcome urologists and urological scientists from the entire world to attend this meeting and to meet our friendly and gifted Chinese colleagues.
