The International Prostate Forum (IPF) originally started with three urology departments in Japan, Turkey, and the United States. The forum focused on talks and presentations with discussions covering almost all areas of prostatic diseases, including both benign prostatic conditions and prostate cancer, their diagnosis, imaging, multidisciplinary treatment, and preventive care. The meeting has been organized every 2 years in the United States, Japan, and Turkey with new colleagues joining the team. In the recent years, the IPF meetings have attracted further attention and were organized with the American Urological Association congress, the Japanese Urological Association of Urology congress, and the Turkish Association of Urology congress. summarizes the dates of the meetings, locations, and chairmen.>Table 1History of International Prostate Forum (modified from reference 1)
