Michigan Medicine Advanced Genitourinary Malignancies Symposium 2025

+ Include: 18 videos + 18 audios + 18 file sub vtt + 19 pdfs, size: 5.16 GB

+ Target Audience: Physicians (Medical Oncologists, Urologists, Radiation Oncologists, Internists)

+ Information:

This one-day symposium is dedicated to the comprehensive management of genitourinary malignancies, including prostate, bladder, and kidney cancers. Hosted by the NCI-designated Rogel Cancer Center, the course emphasizes a transdisciplinary approach to reducing the cancer burden and advancing health equity. It serves as a critical update for clinicians, bridging the gap between cutting-edge research—such as novel biomarkers and cellular therapies—and standard clinical practice. The program highlights the University of Michigan’s role in leading groundbreaking clinical trials and refining standards of care for complex GU cases.

+ What You Will Learn

Attendees will be able to:

• Understand and apply the latest diagnostic modalities for the classification and risk-stratification of genitourinary cancers.

• Appreciate the rapidly evolving therapeutic landscape, specifically the increasing use of targeted agents, immunomodulators, antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), and cellular therapies.

• Identify impactful research findings that drive future diagnostic and prognostic strategies.

• Navigate clinical nuances in managing “in-between” cases, such as localized prostate cancer with nodal PSMA avidity.

• Evaluate the role of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in risk-stratifying patients with Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer (MIBC).

+ Event Details

• Date: Saturday, November 22, 2025

• Time: 8:30 AM – 3:30 PM ET

• Location: The Sheraton Ann Arbor, 3200 Boardwalk Dr, Ann Arbor, Michigan

+ Who Should Attend

This course is designed for the interdisciplinary team involved in GU oncology:

• Physicians (Medical Oncologists, Urologists, Radiation Oncologists, Internists)

• House Officers (Residents and Fellows)

• Physician Assistants and Nurse Practitioners

• Nurses

• Other Healthcare Professionals involved in cancer care

+ Why Attend

• Emerging Therapies: Gain specific insights into the “nuance” of using Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADCs) in bladder cancer, moving beyond simple prescription to understanding toxicity and sequencing.

• Precision Medicine: Learn how new tools like PSMA PET and ctDNA are redefining “localized” versus “metastatic” disease, directly impacting treatment decisions for prostate and bladder cancer patients.

• Expert Faculty: Hear directly from Michigan Medicine leaders who are driving the research on SBRT for renal cell carcinoma and immunotherapy strategies.
