About Genitourinary Cancer

Genitourinary cancer surgery is a specialized oncological procedure performed by a surgical oncologist to treat cancers affecting the urinary system and male reproductive organs. This includes cancers of the kidney, bladder, prostate, testicles, and ureters. The specific surgical approach, which may be open, laparoscopic, or robotic-assisted, is tailored to the cancer's type, stage, and location. The primary goal is the complete removal of the tumor while preserving as much healthy tissue and organ function as possible. These complex procedures are often part of a multidisciplinary treatment plan that may include chemotherapy, radiation, or immunotherapy to achieve the best possible outcome for the patient.
