title: Joint genitourinary cancer symposium between Egyptian and American centers.
abstract: A joint symposium between Mansoura and Cleveland Universities, and the University of California, San Francisco (CA, USA) was held by the Egyptian Cancer Society in Mansoura, Egypt. The Symposium extensively discussed two topics: prostate and bladder cancer. The experiences of American and Egyptian scientists were shared in a trial to increase understanding, improve management, increase treatment outcome and decrease morbidity. Comparisons between treatment policies, management techniques and survival end results in Egypt and the USA, as well as internationally, were performed in both bladder and prostate cancer in order to determine the best policies for their management.
