Urologic Cancer Types, Stages, & Treatments
Cancers that originate in the reproductive or urinary tract organs of males are collectively referred to as urologic cancers. The four most typical examples:
The prostate, urinary bladder, kidney, or renal pelvis, and testis are all potential locations for the development of cancer.
Symptoms: Changes in urine and sexual function may be among the symptoms, however these can vary depending on the kind of cancer.
Treatment: Surgical procedures, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and even immunotherapy are all forms of treatment.
Types: Includes urology, a program for urologic and oncologic diseases, and a program for prostate and urologic malignancies.
Other sites include the following:
- the penis,
- the ureter, and
- the urethra respectively.
Cancer is caused by rapid and abnormal cell proliferation. Urologic malignancies affect the male and female urinary systems, as well as the male reproductive system.
These types of cancer are fairly prevalent. Our experts at Cure Stone treat all facets of urologic malignancies.
Urologic Cancers Can Take Many Forms
The following are some examples of different forms of urologic malignancies, which are named after the structures that they affect:
- Cancer of the urinary bladder affects the cells that line the urinary bladder, which is a tiny sac that stores urine before it is expelled from the body. Each year, around 71,000 people in the United States are given a diagnosis with bladder cancer by medical professionals.
- Cancer of the kidney, also known as renal cancer, develops in the tiny tubes that the kidneys use to filter blood. Cancer of the renal pelvis is a highly uncommon variant of this illness. This condition manifests itself in the portion of the kidney that is connected to the bladder. On average, around 49,100 instances of renal and renal pelvis cancer are identified each year by medical professionals.
- Cancer of the testis, which is known more commonly as testicular cancer, accounts for only one percent of all cancers that affect men. Around 8,400 new cases are identified by medical professionals in the United States each year.
- Penile cancer is rare. The penis, or the male reproductive organ, which is a component of the urinary system, is impacted by this condition.
- Cancer of the urethra develops in the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the exterior of the body. This tube is known as the urethra. In males, the urethra passes through the penis, which is responsible for transporting semen. Cancer of the urethra is extremely uncommon, and its incidence is higher in men than in women.
