A multidisciplinary group of healthcare professionals and patient advocacy representatives met virtually at the 2021 Canadian Bladder Cancer Forum (Forum).
This meeting focused on the promotion of bladder cancer research in Canada with updates on ongoing Canadian projects and the development of new research initiatives. The Forum followed 10 months after the launch of the Canadian Bladder Cancer Research Network (CBCRN), which convened a virtual translational research forum in April 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic has wreaked havoc on research initiatives across the spectrum of medical specialties, and bladder cancer in Canada has been no exception. Despite the challenges, collaborative efforts have persisted, paving the way for renewed progress in the field.
