ISUP 2024 Italy Consensus on Precursor Lesions of Genitourinary Organs

On September 12, 2024, the International Society of Urological Pathology will host a “Multidisciplinary Consensus Conference on Cancer Precursor Lesions of the Genitourinary Organs", open to members and non-member clinicians and scientists in pathology, urology, oncology, and related fields, immediately after the 36th European Congress of Pathology (ECP), in the beautiful city of Florence, Italy. This consensus will be in person, without a hybrid format.

This conference will be hosted at the Hotel Albani Firenze (address: Via Fiume, 12, 50123 Firenze FI, Italy). The hotel is approximately 450 meters away from the Congress Center, Fortezza da Basso.

The meeting objectives are:

- Define established and putative precursor lesions of genitourinary organs

- Refine classification scheme/terminology and diagnostic criteria

- Provide recommendations for pathology reporting

- Provide recommendations for ancillary studies and diagnostic work-up, including immunostaining and molecular testing in different clinical settings

- Provide literature review to aid developing guidelines for clinical management

This Consensus will be Co-Chaired by ISUP members, Dr. Liang Cheng (Providence, RI, USA), and Dr. Glen Kristiansen (Bonn, Germany).

The Consensus meeting will include 5 topics, including:

A. Precursor Lesions of the Prostate (Dr. Kenneth A. Iczkowski and Dr. Geert JLH van Leenders, co-Leads);

B. Precursor Lesions of the Urinary Bladder (Dr. Michelle R. Downes and Dr. Maria R. Raspollini, co-Leads);

C. Precursor Lesions of the Kidney (Dr. Sean R. Williamson and Dr. Holger Moch, co-Leads);

D. Precursor Lesions of the Testis (Dr. Felix Bremmer and Dr. Satish Tickoo, co-Leads); and

E. Precursor Lesions of the Penis (Dr. Santosh Menon and Dr. Antonio L. Cubilla, co-Leads)

Each of these topics will be researched by one of five Working Groups, whose reviews will be informed in part based on a pre-meeting survey of the ISUP membership. Working Group findings will be presented to the membership for consensus voting at the meeting.
