San Diego Genitourinary Annual Course in Oncology (GUACO) 2026 Presented by Scripps Cancer Center

The San Diego Genitourinary Annual Course in Oncology (GUACO) is designed to provide clinicians and advanced practitioners with a comprehensive update on the management of genitourinary malignancies, with a focus on prostate, bladder, and kidney cancers, as well as other GU malignancies. This educational activity will feature expert faculty presentations on current standards of care, evidence-based treatment algorithms, and emerging therapeutic advances. Interactive case-based discussions and multidisciplinary panel sessions will further examine the application of new data to complex clinical scenarios. At the conclusion of this activity, participants will be better equipped to incorporate evolving treatment strategies into practice, with the goal of improving patient outcomes, enhancing quality of life, and advancing the quality of care for individuals with genitourinary cancers.

1. Describe the current landscape of prostate, bladder, kidney, and other genitourinary malignancies, including epidemiologic trends, diagnostic advances, treatment strategies, and persistent challenges in patient management.
2. Evaluate current evidence-based best practices and emerging approaches in the management of localized and advanced genitourinary malignancies.
3. Apply optimal clinical strategies for the appropriate use of available treatment modalities in the management of genitourinary cancers.
4. Integrate multidisciplinary collaboration and shared decision-making into the management of complex genitourinary oncology cases to support coordinated care and improve clinical outcomes.

Mitigation of Relevant Financial Relationships

Disclosure of Relevant Financial Relationships and Content Validity

It is policy at Scripps Health’s Office of Continuing Medical Education (CME) for course directors, planners, moderators, faculty, and all others in a position to control content of an educational activity disclose all financial relationships with ineligible companies that they may have had within the past 24 months. This policy is in accordance with the ACCME Standards for Integrity and Independence in Accredited Continuing Education. An ineligible company is any entity whose primary business is producing, marketing, selling, re-selling, or distributing healthcare products used by or on patients. If an individual refuses to disclose financial relationships, they will be disqualified from being a part of the planning and implementation of the activity. Owners and/or employees of an ineligible company with business lines or products relating to the content of the activity will not be permitted to participate in the planning or execution of any accredited program.

The intent of this policy is to ensure that Scripps Health CME/CE certified activities promote quality and safety, are effective in improving medical practice, consist of valid, evidence-based content, and are independent of control from ineligible companies and free of commercial bias. Peer review of all content was conducted for all faculty presentations whose disclosure information was found to contain any financial relationships. This process consisted of reviewing the content, determining which financial relationships were relevant, and applying appropriate mitigation strategies. All listed relevant financial relationships with ineligible companies for individuals in control of content have been mitigated prior to the commencement of the activity.

The staff in Scripps Health’s Office of Continuing Medical Education have disclosed that they have no financial relationships with any ineligible companies. Any peer reviewer who is determined to have a relevant financial relationship must recuse themselves from the peer review process.
