Future of European urology

To provide the highest medical service and to maintain the most advanced re search work across national boundaries, we have developed many organization s, including the European Association of Urology (EAU), the European Board of Urology (EBU), and the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC). They also have functioned to provide equal health servic e for all European people. In the future, superspecialization and the multi disciplinary approach are inevitable. Major changes will occur, such as pre vention of stone diseases, reconstructive urology, and immune and gene ther apy in oncology. Specialists will assume major roles in the urologic clinic . In those circumstances, Europe will continue to play an important role be cause urologists are very much involved in future strategic developments on national and Pan-European levels.
