  ear colleagues of the world,
As Chairman of the Local Organizing Committee, it is a pleasure and a privilege for me to invite you to attend the SIU World Uro-Oncology Update in Santiago.
For 2008, we have chosen to focus on uro-oncology, an area to which we devote more and more of our daily practice. Nowadays, oncology is probably the most dynamic arena of our specialty. Progress in uro-oncology occurs every day and the fruits of research are applied to clinical practice very quickly, so our meeting will be an excellent opportunity for a very timely update.
Although cutting-edge science is important, we acknowledge that some advances cannot be applied in many countries, and that others do not represent useful standards of care for everyday practice. For this reason, we will focus on providing urologists with evidence-based, well-established tools for the care of their patients. With this in mind, Drs. Richard Williams and Laurence Klotz, along with their Scientific Committee, have prepared a comprehensive and attractive programme with something of interest to every urologist, including uro-oncology for both adults and children.
Faithful to its mission, the SIU facilitates educational opportunities in all areas of the globe. Now it's Latin America's turn to host, and Chile is honoured to have been selected. A solid and stable democracy, linked to a prosperous economy, has fostered impressive and steady development in the recent decades. Santiago is a modern and vibrant metropolis, with an outstanding choice of cuisine and entertainment.
The invitation is open: just be ready to pack, and I will be delighted to welcome each of you here to Santiago.
