Best of the 2007 AUA Annual Meeting: Highlights from the 2007 Annual Meeting of the American Urological Association, May 19–24, 2007, Anaheim, CA

[摘要] A record number of submissions led to the acceptance of 1965 abstracts for the 2007 annual meeting of the American Urological Association (AUA), up from 1725 last year. The meeting, held in Anaheim, CA, attracted nearly 8800 urologists and other health care professionals, 54% of them from outside the United States. Press, exhibitors, family, guests, and staff pushed total attendance to just over 15,000. The editors of Reviews in Urology have culled the enormous volume of information from this premier source and present here the findings most relevant to the practicing urologist. Additional highlights will be published in the next issue of Reviews in Urology.
