The International Bladder Cancer Group (IBCG) is a globally recognized entity that has published numerous peer-reviewed articles addressing knowledge gaps in – and providing recommendations for – the management of bladder cancer.
The IBCG was formed with a primary objective being to address global educational needs and learning gaps in order to improve the care and management of patients with urothelial carcinoma. The inaugural meeting, in 2006, consisted of members selected as representatives of their varied geographic regions across Europe, North America and Asia. The members were specifically selected not only for their expertise but also to ensure representation from across the globe.
The IBCG has expanded its membership in the past few years to include many globally recognized
experts in the field of bladder cancer. This expansion has included a wide range of health care
professionals including medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, statisticians and researchers with representation to include all the continents.
In 2021, the IBCG created a Health Services Research group led by Dr Stephen B Williams which aims to be the collaborative source for clinicians and researchers. An IBCG newsletter under Chief Editor Dr Fred Witjes was launched in Q1 2022.
In 2024 IBCG Retreat chaired by Roger Li, Patrick Hensley, Shilpa Gupta.
