O. Lenaine Westney, MD, FACS, UPRS, Professor of Urology and Urinary Tract and Pelvic Reconstruction Fellowship Director at MD Anderson Cancer Center at the McGovern Medical School at University of Texas-Houston, was the 2024 Victor Politano Lecturer.

Her featured lecture on February 9 was titled “Management and Prevention of Urologic Complications in Non-Genito-urinary Malignancies.” The day prior, she spoke to the Department on “Women in Academic Urology: Successes and Opportunities.”
