Urologic cancers are cancers that affect the urinary system and male reproductive organs. These include cancers of the prostate, bladder, kidney, testis, and sometimes the ureter and urethra. The symptoms can be mild in early stages, which is why timely evaluation and screening are important.
Treatment depends on the type and stage of cancer and may include surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, or a combination approach. A personalized plan is made based on reports, overall health, and patient needs.
If you notice urinary symptoms that persist for more than 2 weeks, or any blood in urine, consult a doctor for evaluation. Early diagnosis helps in better treatment results.
Diagnosis may include urine tests, ultrasound, CT/MRI, PSA test (for prostate), cystoscopy (for bladder), and biopsy. Treatment is planned based on staging and patient comfort.
