Researchers who want to present at the 2027 ASCO Genitourinary Cancers Symposium have until Tuesday, October 13, 2026 to file an abstract. The meeting itself is set for February 11-13, 2027, in San Francisco.
Submitting takes some preparation. Anyone filing needs an ASCO.org login, though a guest account works for non-members. The person who submits does not have to be an author; they pick the first and presenting author in a later step. Every author’s conflict of interest disclosure is required before the submission can be completed, so ASCO advises collecting those first, either through a coauthor form or electronically through its Disclosure Management System. Disclosures already on file populate automatically across an author’s submissions. There is a nonrefundable $80 fee. Until the deadline, the submitter or the first author can reopen and edit an abstract at any time.
Where and what
The meeting will be held at Moscone West, in person, with a digital attendance option. The venue describes it as a premier international gathering on research, treatment and care for genitourinary cancers, covering prostate, bladder, kidney and other cancers. The program includes scientific sessions and research talks that range from clinical trials to translational work, along with multidisciplinary discussions that bring together experts from different specialties. Poster sessions and abstract presentations feature work from investigators around the world.
A review meeting in Hawaii
A licensed review meeting follows in Hawaii. Total Health’s ASCO Direct genitourinary conference, run under ASCO’s license, takes place on Sunday, February 21, 2027, at the Alohilani Resort in Honolulu. It goes back over the strongest abstracts from the San Francisco symposium and is open in person only, to registered participants. The program is free and carries 6.00 CME credits. Registrants must put a card on file as a safeguard, and a $50 fee applies only to a no-show or a cancellation within 5 days.
The Honolulu day is chaired by Alexander Wei of Columbia University Irving Medical Center and Katie Murray of NYU Langone. The agenda starts at 7:00 AM with coffee and runs through bladder cancer, advanced urothelial carcinoma, renal cell carcinoma and advanced prostate cancer, with Vadim Koshkin of UCSF, Tian Zhang of UT Southwestern and Evan Yu of the University of Washington among the speakers.
