Abstract
From 16 th to 20 th of March, 2018, the 33 rd Annual Congress of the European Association of Urology took place in Copenhagen. Doctors from 78 countries participated in the event. 4,381 abstracts were submitted, 1,338 of which were selected for poster sessions. Prostate cancer, kidney cancer, and bladder cancer were the most studied topics and constituted about a half of all accepted abstracts. In this article, a review of the most significant and interesting reports on cancer urology from the EAU Congress in 2018 is presented.
