Following are the various Urological Cancers for which you will require to consult with an Uro-Oncologist,

  • Kidney Cancer: Also called renal cancer, in which kidney cells start dividing in a manner that is not controllable. Smoking is a key reason for such cancer. If diagnosed at an early stage, kidney cancers can be treated successfully.

  • Bladder Cancer: This cancer occurs when the cells of the lining of the bladder increase or grow in an abnormal manner. The primary symptom of this cancer is the extraction of blood during urination. This cancer is mostly found in males than females.

  • Prostate Cancer: It is one of the most common cancer in males. Cells present in the prostate gland start dividing in an uncontrollable manner. The probability of recovery is much high in this cancer if caught at the early stage through regular screening.

  • Penile-Cancer: The Penile-cancer is also a rare form of cancer, and it is diagnosed mostly in uncircumcised men. These can be treated in the best possible manner only when detected at early stages. A person should be mindful of any colour change on the organ's outer form, and lesions (ulcers, wounds, etc.), as these are the early symptoms of penile cancer. Chronic HPV infection can also lead to penile cancer due to skin-to-skin touch during sexual intercourse.  

  • Testicular Cancer: This cancer occurs when the cells in the testes or testicles start dividing uncontrollably. It is a rare form of cancer, and males between 15 and 45 years are more vulnerable to this cancer. It can be treated in the best possible manner if detected at an early stage.

Procedure

After considering the various factors like the stage of the tumour, its grade, the patient's age, any medical history, preferences, and overall physical and mental condition, the medical specialist decides upon the treatment methods for the patient. 

Following are the primary option of the treatment procedures that is available in case of urological cancers,

  • Surgery

  • Radiation Therapy

  • Chemotherapy

In the case of Urological cancer at an advanced stage, if the patient does not respond to the above-mentioned primary treatment options, they might be treated with the following advanced approaches,

  • Hormone Therapy (for prostate cancer)

  • Immunotherapy

  • Targeted Therapy

In the case of a person suffering from bladder cancer, an alternative pathway would be created to extract urine from the patient's body. When patients are suffering either from testicular or penile cancers, patients have the option of reconstruction surgery of the organs, which helps restore the natural form of the organ again affected by cancer. 

In some scenarios, wherein the cancer is detected at a primary stage or due to age factors, the patient is not in a condition to undergo any type of surgery, or under any other type of circumstances, doctors might recommend 'watchful waiting' or 'active surveillance'. In watchful waiting or active surveillance, regular screening of patients through tests and treatment are provided only in case the disease spreads in the body.
