This session will provide GPs with a systematic approach to further investigation and management of a small renal mass. In addition\, topics covered will be penile cancer\, and a relatively common\, but poorly recognised condition: Peyronie’s disease. GPs will also gain insight into new urological surgery techniques that their patients may be undergoing.
