Guidelines in focus: AUA2026 to spotlight evolving standards in urological care
New and updated guidance highlights a shift toward more personalized, evidence-based decision-making.
As urology continues to evolve, clinical guidelines remain one of the most important tools for translating evidence into practice, and they will once again take center stage at the 2026 American Urological Association Annual Meeting in Washington, DC.
At AUA2026, attendees will have the opportunity to explore the latest updates across a range of urological conditions, reflecting a broader shift toward patient-centered, risk-based care. The meeting, taking place May 15-18, will feature programming designed to help clinicians interpret and apply newly updated recommendations in real-world settings.
