Types of Urological Cancers Treated:
- **Kidney Cancer (Renal Cell Carcinoma):**
- **Diagnosis:** Often detected incidentally on imaging for other conditions. Symptoms may include blood in urine, flank pain, or a mass.
- **Treatment:**
- **Partial Nephrectomy:** Removal of only the cancerous part of the kidney, preserving healthy tissue, often done laparoscopically or robotically.
- **Radical Nephrectomy:** Removal of the entire kidney, adrenal gland, and surrounding lymph nodes, for larger or more aggressive tumors.
- **Targeted Therapy/Immunotherapy:** For advanced or metastatic kidney cancer.
- **Bladder Cancer:**
- **Diagnosis:** Most common symptom is blood in urine (hematuria). Diagnosis typically involves cystoscopy and biopsy.
- **Treatment:**
- **TURBT (Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumor):** Endoscopic removal of bladder tumors for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer.
- **Intravesical Therapy:** Medications (e.g., BCG, chemotherapy) instilled directly into the bladder to prevent recurrence.
- **Radical Cystectomy:** Removal of the entire bladder (and nearby lymph nodes/organs), often with urinary diversion (e.g., neobladder, ileal conduit), for muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Can be performed open or minimally invasively (laparoscopic/robotic).
- **Prostate Cancer:**
- **Diagnosis:** Often detected via elevated PSA levels or abnormal DRE. Biopsy confirms diagnosis.
- **Treatment (depending on stage, aggressiveness, and patient factors):**
- **Active Surveillance:** For very low-risk cancers, involving close monitoring.
- **Radical Prostatectomy:** Surgical removal of the prostate gland and seminal vesicles, often done robotically (laparoscopic/robotic prostatectomy) for minimal invasion and precise nerve-sparing.
- **Radiation Therapy:** External beam radiation or brachytherapy (internal radiation).
- **Hormone Therapy:** To reduce male hormones that fuel prostate cancer growth.
- **Chemotherapy/Targeted Therapy:** For advanced or metastatic prostate cancer.
