Urological & Prostrate Cancer Surgery

Urological cancer refers to a group of cancers that affect the urinary system in both men and women. This includes cancers of the bladder, kidneys, ureters, urethra, and adrenal glands. These cancers can cause symptoms such as blood in the urine, pain during urination, and frequent urination. 

Prostate cancer is a specific type of urological cancer that affects only men. The prostate is a gland in the male reproductive system that produces fluid to help nourish and transport sperm. Prostate cancer occurs when cells in the prostate gland grow uncontrollably, forming a tumor. It is the most common cancer in men, and often grows slowly, without causing symptoms. However, in some cases, prostate cancer can grow and spread quickly, leading to more serious health problems 

There are several types of urological and prostate cancer, including: 

  • Bladder cancer: This is the most common type of urological cancer. It starts in the cells lining the bladder and can spread to nearby tissues and organs. 
  • Kidney cancer: This type of cancer starts in the cells of the kidneys, which are two bean-shaped organs located on either side of the spine. 
  • Prostate cancer: This is a cancer that affects the prostate gland in men. It is the most common cancer among men, and often grows slowly without causing symptoms. 
  • Testicular cancer: This type of cancer affects the testicles, which are the male reproductive glands that produce sperm. 
  • Adrenal gland cancer: This is a rare type of cancer that affects the adrenal glands, which are located on top of the kidneys and produce hormones that regulate various bodily functions. 
  • Penile cancer: This type of cancer affects the penis, which is the male reproductive organ that is responsible for sexual function and urination. It is rare, but can be aggressive and require surgery. 

It's important to note that each of these cancers can have different subtypes and stages, which can affect treatment options and outcomes. Regular check-ups and screenings can help detect these cancers early, when they are most treatable Sterling Hospitals in Ahmedabad offers state-of-the-art urological and prostate cancer surgery to patients.
