Genitourinary Cancer

Genitourinary cancers affect organs in the urinary tracts of men and women, such as the bladder and kidneys, as well as the male reproductive organs of the prostate and testes.

Prostate cancer is usually adenocarcinoma. Symptoms are usually absent until tumor growth causes hematuria and/or obstruction with pain.

At Onkaulogy Kombine, we offer multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment of patients with cancer of the prostate, bladder, testes or kidney. Our leading oncologists, urological surgeons, radiation oncologists, radiologists and pathologists provide the best diagnosis and management for genitourinary cancers. Treatment includes:

• Minimally invasive surgical techniques, including nerve-sparing prostatectomy, partial or laparoscopic nephrectomy for renal cancer.
• Radioactive seed implant brachytherapy for prostate cancer.
• Radiofrequency ablation for renal masses.
• Bladder-sparing operations and orthotopic diversion for bladder cancer.
• Watchful waiting strategies for prostate cancer.

Our goal is to effectively treat prostate cancer while improving quality of life among our patients and their spouses or partners.

Symptoms:
Prostate cancer usually progresses slowly and rarely causes symptoms until advanced. In advanced disease, hematuria and symptoms of bladder outlet obstruction may appear. This may be straining, hesitancy, weak or intermittent urine stream, a sense of incomplete emptying and/or terminal dribbling.
