Treinta años del Grupo de Trabajo de Urología Oncológica de la Asociación Española de Urología (1978-2008)

The Board of Directors initially suggested the Group's activities, but the personality and scientific quality of the coordinators soon caused them to mark the pace of the work, in which review of all urological tumors, with special emphasis on those of most interest and most controversial at each given point in time, is the primary objective. The most outstanding achievements of the Group have been the publishing of a diagnostic protocol and several books on cancer of the urinary tract, joint work with oncologists, and opening of new research and study lines.
