Welcome Message

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

It is with great pleasure that we invite you to the 11th International Symposium on Focal Therapy and Imaging in Prostate and Kidney Cancer to be held in Kyoto, Japan from 9 to 11 February 2019.

Following 10 consecutive rotations between the USA and Europe, in 2019 the Symposium visits Asia to bring exciting new developments to the region. Curated by the Société Internationale d'Urologie, the Symposium is an innovative and engaging event that delivers within a condensed meeting the updates that delegates really need.

This three-day event incorporates real-time imaging into the diagnostic and treatment strategies for prostate and kidney cancer. Taking part in this meeting hands you the opportunity to gain valuable insights through the interactive scientific program: state-of-the-art lectures, video demonstrations and hands-on workshops, all delivered by a world-class faculty. The intimate meeting size allows everyone to network with faculty and exchange opinions and experiences.

Next February, be sure to plan for another outstanding FT 2019 Symposium in Kyoto, one of Japan’s most exceptional historical cities.
