What Is Urological Cancer?
Urological cancers are cancers that develop in organs and structures involved in the urinary system and, in men, the male reproductive system.
Common urological cancers include prostate cancer, kidney cancer, bladder cancer, testicular cancer and cancers of the upper urinary tract. Early evaluation of concerning symptoms and abnormal test results can help guide the next diagnostic step.
Treatment depends on the type and stage of cancer, pathology, imaging findings, overall health and patient preferences. Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may include active surveillance, surgery, endoscopic treatment, medicines, radiation therapy or a combination of approaches.
