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.

Key Highlights

Precision removal of cancerous tumors from the kidneys, bladder, prostate, or testes.Utilization of advanced techniques like robotic-assisted surgery for enhanced precision and smaller incisions.Focus on organ preservation and functional outcomes, such as continence and sexual function, where possible.Performed by a specialist (Surgical Oncologist) with focused expertise in cancer surgery.Often a curative treatment, especially for localized cancers.Integral part of a comprehensive, multidisciplinary cancer care plan./ul

Who is this surgery for?

Diagnosis of a malignant tumor in the kidney (renal cell carcinoma), bladder, prostate, testicles, or ureters.
Localized cancer that has not widely metastasized (spread) to distant organs.
As a curative treatment for early-stage cancers.
To relieve symptoms (palliation) in advanced cancer, such as bleeding or obstruction.
When other treatments like radiation or chemotherapy are not the preferred primary option.
For diagnostic purposes (biopsy) or staging when less invasive methods are inconclusive.

PATIENT REVIEW

Ananya Verma, a 58-year-old former school...

Ananya Verma, a 58-year-old former school principal from Kolkata, had always been active and health-conscious. For months, she dismissed occasional, painless blood in her urine as a possible urinary tract infection. When it became persistent, her GP referred her to a urologist. A cystoscopy revealed a tumor in her bladder. The surgical oncologist, Dr. Rao, explained that while the cancer appeared confined to the bladder lining, a Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumor (TURBT) was necessary for definitive diagnosis and potential cure. Ananya was terrified, fearing the loss of her bladder and a permanent stoma. The procedure itself, under spinal anesthesia, was physically straightforward. The emotional toll was heavier; the wait for pathology results was agonizing. The news was good: it was a non-muscle-invasive cancer, completely removed. She requires regular surveillance cystoscopies, which bring anxiety each time, but she has returned to her volunteer work and gardening. Her journey shifted from a fear of mortality to learning to live with vigilant hope, finding strength in her family's support and a renewed appreciation for her health.
