Uro-Oncology offers compassionate care for those diagnosed with kidney cancer, bladder cancer, prostate cancer, penile and testicular cancer. Treatment options offered include medical, surgical and management of tumor through chemo and radiation therapy.

It is the surgical specialty that focuses on the cancer surgery of the urinary tracts of males and females, and on the reproductive system of males. Cancers of the organs covered by uro-oncologist include the kidneys, adrenal glands, ureters, urinary bladder, urethra, and the male reproductive organs (testes, epididymis, vas deferens, seminal vesicles, prostate and penis).

Cancer of kidney

Kidney cancers, also called renal cancer is a disease in which kidney cells become malignant (cancerous) and grows out of control, forming a tumor. Almost all kidney cancers first appear in the lining of tiny tubes (tubules) in the kidney. This type of kidney cancer is called renal cell carcinoma. The good news is that most of these cancers are found before they spread (metastasize) to distant organs. And cancers caught early are easier to treat successfully. However, these tumors can grow to be quite large before they are detected.

What Are the Symptoms of Kidney Cancer?

• Blood in your urine
• A lump in your side or abdomen
• A loss of appetite
• A pain in your side that doesn’t go away
• Weight loss that occurs for no known reason
• Fever that lasts for weeks and isn’t caused by a cold or other infection
• Extreme fatigue
• Anemia
• Swelling in your ankles or legs

Bladder Cancer

Bladder cancer is a cancer that starts in the bladder. The bladder is the body part that holds and releases urine. It is in the center of the lower belly area.

What Are the Symptoms of Bladder Cancer?

• Abdominal pain
• Blood in the urine
• Bone pain or tenderness if the cancer spreads to the bone
• Fatigue
• Painful urination
• Urinary frequency
• Urinary urgency
• Urine leakage (incontinence)
• Weight loss

Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer is cancer that starts in the prostate gland. The prostate is a small, walnut-sized structure that makes up part of a man’s reproductive system. It wraps around the urethra, the tube that carries urine out of the body.

What Are the Symptoms of Prostate Cancer?

• Delayed or slowed start of urinary stream
• Dribbling or leakage of urine, most often after urinating
• Slow urinary stream
• Straining when urinating, or not being able to empty out all of the urine
• Blood in the urine or semen
• Bone pain or tenderness, most often in the lower back and pelvic bones (only when the cancer has spread)

Testicular Cancer

Testicular cancer is a disease in which cells become malignant (cancerous) in one or both testicles. The testicles (also called testes or gonads) are a pair of male sex glands. They produce and store sperm and are the main source of testosterone (male hormones) in men. These hormones control the development of the reproductive organs and other male physical characteristics. The testicles are located under the penis in a sac-like pouch called the scrotum.

What Are the Symptoms of Testicular Cancer?

• a painless lump or swelling in a testicle
• pain or discomfort in a testicle or in the scrotum
• any enlargement of a testicle or change in the way it feels
• a feeling of heaviness in the scrotum
• a dull ache in the lower abdomen, back, or groin
• a sudden collection of fluid in the scrotum
