Dear friends and colleagues,

The virtual 18^th Meeting of the EAU Section of Oncological Urology (ESOU21) will deliver vital developments on genitourinary cancers, and highlight the role of European urologists as the principal caregivers in the field. The ESOU21 scientific programme will reflect state-of-the-art oncology in urology which fortifies the ESOU meeting as an essential European reference.

This year has been very challenging for each of us as citizens and as primary care providers and physicians. The emergence of COVID-19 impacted our countries, our societies and our healthcare systems including patients diagnosed and treated for cancer. The European Association of Urology has promoted its Guidelines during this crisis to help urologists help these patients and avoid providing suboptimal care for them. Despite the severity of the effects of the pandemic, cancer is still taking more lives than COVID-19. Our cancer patients need our support even more in these trying times.

Prof. Morgan Rouprêt
Chairman EAU Section of Oncological Urology
