WBCPC Presents at the SIU Congress in New Delhi

The World Bladder Cancer Patient Coalition team joined the 44th Annual SIU Congress – a leading global event organised by Société Internationale d’Urologie convening urologists worldwide. This marks the fourth consecutive year WBCPC was invited to join the Congress.

This year, the second WBCPC Abstract Poster (see 2023 SIU Poster here) was accepted for presentation at the Congress. Our Executive Director Alex Filicevas is presenting the Poster Divergent Experiences of Bladder Cancer Patients: A Focus on Advanced and Metastatic Disease Stages. This presentation draws from the additional sub analysis of the data from the Global Bladder Cancer Patient & Carer Survey, looking more specifically into experiences of respondents who were diagnosed with Advanced or Metastatic bladder cancer. You can Download the poster at the bottom of this article.

«Every year, the Société Internationale d’Urologie welcomes WBCPC to their annual congress, where we connect with many expert and trainee urologists to introduce our network of bladder cancer patient organisations, share our resources and encourage them to contribute to patient advocacy.

Alex Filicevas, Executive Director of the World Bladder Cancer Patient Coalition.

The Start-up Guide for bladder cancer patient groups features tips and guidance on how to start a bladder cancer patient support group or organisation. The guide is available in ArabicEnglishFrenchPortugueseSpanish and Turkish.

The World Bladder Cancer Patient Coalition continues its collaboration with the SIU, which started with a Memorandum of Understanding in 2021. We continue to develop this important partnership to advance bladder cancer patient care worldwide and invite urologists from around the globe to get in touch with us for further partnership opportunities.
