Abstract

The Society of Women in Urologic Oncology (WUO) initially began as a group that met informally at the Society of Urologic Oncology (SUO) annual winter meeting, and has since developed into a formal organization which is now recognized by the SUO Board of Directors. The core objective of the WUO is to advance recruitment, retention and promotion of women in Urologic Oncology. Herein, we will review the past, present and future of this organization.
