Urology Week: September 14-18, 2015

Urology Week is an initiative of the European Association of Urology (EAU) which brings together urology practitioners, nurses, and patient groups to bring awareness of urological conditions among the general public.

There are 3 main topics by the European Association of Urology is focused on prostate cancer, bladder cancer, and kidney cancer.

As a patient, no-one understands the problems and the battle with the disease first hand than the patient himself. Through sharing, the public can better understand what prostate cancer is. Its symptoms, treatment, side effects, and cure rates. The public can gain a better understanding of the cancer’s conditions, and in turn help to support patients with the type of urology cancer they have, letting them know that they are not alone!
