We’re thrilled to announce the return of the 16th Biennial Cancer Day for Primary Care, a remarkable collaboration between the Community Oncology Program at Cancer Care Manitoba and the University of Manitoba. This year, we’re embracing the future with a hybrid event, allowing you to join us from the comfort of your home or in-person at Theater B, 727 McDermot Ave, University of Manitoba.

Our focus this year is on Genitourinary Cancers, providing comprehensive coverage on a range of topics from Prostate to Renal, Urothelial, Testicular, and Bladder cancers. We’ll delve into everything from screening and work-up to systemic therapy, offering a wealth of knowledge and insights.


What truly sets this event apart is your participation! We’re offering attendees the unique opportunity to submit their own cases for discussion by our expert panel. This is your chance to engage, learn, and contribute to a dynamic and informative program.
