About uro oncology

About uro oncology

Uro oncology or urological oncology is the branch of medical science that deals with treating cancers of the male and female urinary tract and the male reproductive organs. Uro oncology involves the risk assessment, prevention, diagnosis, management and palliative care of patients.
Uro oncology concerns cancers of the prostate, kidneys, bladder, penis and testicles.

Prostate cancer 

The prostate gland is a small walnut-sized gland located beneath the bladder of a man. This gland is responsible for the production of seminal fluid that nourishes and transports the semen. Prostate cancer is the growth of cancer cells inside the prostate gland. It is the most common cancers among men.

Common signs and symptoms of prostate cancer include increased urge to urinate, blood in the urine, disrupted the flow of urine, new onset of erectile dysfunction and pain.

Depending upon the stage of cancer and other factors, prostate cancer treatment options include surgical removal of cancer, chemotherapy, targeted therapy and hormone therapy.

Bladder cancer 

Bladder cancer is urological cancer that affects the cells that line inside the bladder. Bladder cancer mostly affects people elder than the age 50. This cancer can extend to the surrounding cells as well. Different types of bladder cancers are urothelial carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. 

Common signs and symptoms of bladder cancer include frequent and painful urination, severe backache and presence of blood in the urine. 

Bladder cancer is treated with a combination of therapeutic ways including transurethral resection, cystectomy, chemotherapy, radiation therapy and immunotherapy. 

Kidney cancer 

Kidney cancer or renal cancer is one of the most common types of urological cancers. It is characterised by symptoms including blood in the urine, persistent lower back pain or pain at the side, lump or swelling. The exact cause behind kidney cancer is yet unknown, however, factors such as obesity, smoking, hypertension and family history of the disease can increase an individual’s chances of being affected by this cancer.

Kidney cancer treatment alternatives include surgical removal of the tumour, radiofrequency ablation, chemotherapy and more.

Penile cancer or cancer of the penis is a disease in which the cancer cells affect the tissues of the penis. It is rare cancer that mostly affects the skin or the foreskin of the penis. This type of cancer is mostly caused by human papillomavirus (HPV).

Common symptoms of penile cancer are an abnormal growth on the skin, soreness that does not heal within 4 weeks, skin rash, bleeding from the penis, a smelly discharge, thickening of the skin of the penis or foreskin, changes in the colour of the skin of your penis or foreskin and a lump in the groin.

Penile cancer treatment involves a range of options. Your cancer care team will offer one or a combination of these options that include surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy for penile cancer treatment.

Testicular cancer 

The testicles are the male sexual glands responsible for producing sperm and testosterone hormone. Testicular cancer happens when cancer cells develop inside the tissues of the testicles. It is the most common type of urological cancer affecting younger men aged between 25-30 years.

Testicular cancer is characterised by symptoms like a lump or swelling in the scrotum, sudden accumulation of fluid in the scrotum, a sense of heaviness in the scrotum, a dull ache in the groin or lower abdomen, pain or discomfort and a shrinking testicle.

Testicular cancer treatment depends on factors like the stage of cancer, the severity of symptoms, patient’s age and overall health. It can be treated by alternatives including surgery, radiation therapy chemotherapy.
