Our sponsorship comes from several areas of urology but none more so recently than
from industry partners focused on urologic oncology. Indeed, there continues to be strong support from companies that have
traditionally been major sponsors of the CUA, including, for example, those who provide androgen deprivation and novel
hormonal therapies; however, there is growing sponsorship from companies whose products are not typically used by urology in
general areas such as immunotherapy, precision oncology, theragnostics, and PARP inhibition to name a few. This is a testament
to our collaborative initiatives with our medical and radiation oncology colleagues, our exceptional and internationally recognized
guidelines in all aspects of urologic oncology, as well as our Office of Education integrated educational tools and programs
targeting not just urologists but all cancer disciplines. Finally, if we add our recent formal collaboration with the Genito-Urinary
Medical Oncologists of Canada (GUMOC) it is clear the CUA has now also become “The Voice of Urologic Oncology in Canada.”
