The GU Tumour Group is a multi-disciplinary committee charged with the development of management policy for genitourinary tumour sites. This policy results from the deliberations of site subcommittees that include literature review, and experience with prior policy with outcome analysis where possible. It is recognized that management of the individual patient must take into consideration such additional factors as ability to withstand the proposed therapy.

The implementation of policy must necessarily be left to the discretion of the individual consulting physician. In some instances, the low frequency of cases or recommended procedures will require referral to a sub-specialist or to a major cancer centre for an opinion. It is the declared policy of the group to encourage referral of cases where the best course of action is unclear; every effort will be made to inform the referring and family physicians of any recommendations and as far as practicable to refer the patient back to their community for procedures and follow up.
