2: Research, clinical trials, databases, and funding opportunities for GU cancers in LMIC.
3: Post-graduate training opportunities in GU oncology for different subspecialties in LMIC.
4: GU cancers survivorship programs in LMIC.
5: Quality of life indicators for GU cancer in LMIC.
6: Access to radiotherapy in LMIC.
7: Access to standard of care chemotherapy and immunotherapy and novel treatments for GU cancers in LMIC.
