Why visit
EMUC26 is the 18th European Multidisciplinary Congress on Urological Cancers, bringing together urologists, oncologists, radiation oncologists, pathologists and imaging specialists around GU cancer care. The scientific programme covers prostate cancer diagnosis and imaging, including next-generation imaging and MRI innovations, alongside MIBC treatment challenges and ctDNA/EV-P cost and access questions. Sessions and poster presentations are organised with partner bodies such as ESUI and ESUP, giving attendees pathology, imaging and multidisciplinary angles rather than a single-specialty view.
Why exhibit
Exhibiting places diagnostic imaging, theranostics and molecular diagnostics suppliers in front of a specialist GU cancer audience that includes clinicians evaluating new equipment and workflows. The abstract and poster programme draws delegates actively working on prostate MRI, micro-ultrasound, PSMA-based imaging and ctDNA testing, who are the buyers and users of imaging and diagnostic products. Sponsors and exhibitors are recognised through the congress Acknowledgements and AIFA procedure pages, providing visibility with the EAU-linked urological community that organises EMUC.
