JUA (The Japan Urological Association)
The 113th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Urological Association (JUA2026)
In this light, the theme of our 113th Annual Meeting will be “Crystal of Love and Wisdom,”. We believe it symbolizes an academic conference based on the philosophy of “Patient first” and our love for humanity, where wisdom is the foundation of innovation, where we utilize conventional medical technology but also develop revolutionary technology, striving to increase patient satisfaction and improve prognosis. Therefore, the Society has created an important agenda for discussion encompassing the following: introduction of innovative medical approaches, clinical trials, and cutting-edge medical intervention technologies; realization of innovative diagnosis; social implementation of treatment options that can maintain QOL and control pathology; and the possibility of academic results being truly enjoyed by patients in real-world settings. Of course, we shall also enrich our conference with president’s events, overseas guest lectures, and educational lectures. Furthermore, we hope you will look forward to cultural events such as “Kyoto Culture Lectures” and “Dance (Gion-Buyou)” that will celebrate Kiyomizu ware, Zen, food culture, and the entertainment district, —representatives of Kyoto’s contemporary culture that has inherited a thousand years of history and tradition, as these event will move the hearts of not only Japanese participants but also attendees from around the world. In addition, from April 25 to April 26, 2026, the association will host the International Symposium on Focal Therapy and Imaging in Prostate and Kidney Cancer, which was previously held in Kyoto in 2019. We hope you will participate in this conference, where world leaders in “targeted cancer therapy,” —a type of cancer treatment which aims to achieve both functional preservation (through organ preservation) and cancer control—, will hold discussions.
