Urological Cancers

Urological Cancers

Specialized Surgical Care for Kidney, Bladder, and Prostate Cancers

Urological cancers include malignancies affecting the urinary system and male reproductive organs, primarily involving the kidneys, bladder, ureters, prostate, and testes. These cancers may present with subtle symptoms and can easily be mistaken for benign conditions like urinary infections or prostate enlargement. Early detection and intervention are vital, as many urological cancers respond well to treatment in their initial stages.
At Dr. Senthil Kumar’s Oncology Centre, we offer precise and advanced surgical care for all forms of urological cancers. Dr. Senthil Kumar brings extensive expertise in uro-oncology, providing individualized treatment plans based on the type and stage of cancer. Whether it involves minimally invasive procedures, organ-preserving surgeries, or advanced reconstructive techniques, our focus remains on eliminating the disease while preserving function and improving quality of life. From accurate diagnosis to complete post-operative recovery support, patients receive compassionate, evidence-based care every step of the way.

Urological cancers are classified into stages based on tumor size, lymph node involvement, and spread:

Stage I:

Cancer confined to the organ

Stage II:

Deeper invasion into surrounding tissue

Stage III:

Spread to nearby lymph nodes

Stage IV:

Distant metastasis to organs such as lungs, bones, or liver

Diagnosis

Dr. Senthil Kumar employs a step-by-step diagnostic approach that begins with a detailed clinical examination and patient history. Investigations include urine analysis, blood tests (including PSA for prostate cancer), and imaging studies such as ultrasound, CT scan, MRI, and bone scan to evaluate the tumor’s extent. Cystoscopy or ureteroscopy may be performed for direct visual assessment of the bladder or urinary tract. A biopsy is often necessary to confirm the diagnosis and determine the cancer type. Accurate diagnosis enables early-stage treatment and improves the patient’s overall prognosis.

Treatment Options

Treatment for urological cancers is tailored to the cancer type, stage, and individual patient factors. Surgical options may involve partial or total nephrectomy (kidney removal), prostatectomy (prostate removal), cystectomy (bladder removal), or orchiectomy (removal of testicle). Minimally invasive and laparoscopic techniques are preferred where possible to reduce recovery time. In selected cases, robotic-assisted surgery is offered for greater precision. Additional therapies may include chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, immunotherapy, and radiation therapy. Dr. Senthil Kumar works with a multidisciplinary team to ensure holistic care that also addresses post-operative urinary and sexual function.

Prevention & Early Detection

Prevention strategies for urological cancers focus on reducing modifiable risk factors. Avoiding smoking and limiting exposure to industrial chemicals play a significant role in lowering the risk, particularly for bladder and kidney cancers. Maintaining a healthy weight, staying physically active, and following a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables support overall urological health. Routine screenings such as PSA tests for prostate health and regular urine analysis can help detect abnormalities early. Individuals with a family history or recurring urinary issues should undergo periodic evaluations to catch potential problems before they progress.
