Genitourinary cancers present significant challenges to oncologists, necessitating innovative approaches for improved patient outcomes. The 'Controversies in Genitourinary Cancers' congress, held in January 2024, convened international experts to address the complexities of prostate, bladder, renal and rare genitourinary cancers. Sessions explored current trends, novel treatments, and unmet needs, emphasizing collaborative efforts to advance knowledge and patient care. Through multidisciplinary engagement and patient advocacy, the congress underscored the imperative of collective action in navigating the complexities of genitourinary cancers, ultimately aiming to transform clinical practice and improve patient outcomes.
