Evaluation, surgery and coordinated cancer care for prostate, bladder and kidney cancers by urologist Dr. Anand Utture.
Urological cancers include cancers of the prostate, bladder, kidney and testis. Many are highly treatable when found early. Warning signs include blood in the urine, a rising PSA, urinary changes, a lump in the testis, or a kidney mass found on a scan. Treatment is planned with oncologists and radiologists and may include surgery, including minimally invasive options, along with other therapies.
Often found through a raised PSA blood test; may cause urinary symptoms in later stages
Commonly shows up as painless blood in the urine; smoking is the biggest risk factor
Often found by chance on an ultrasound or CT scan; may cause blood in urine or flank pain
PSA testing, imaging, cystoscopy and biopsies to confirm the diagnosis and stage.
Endoscopic removal of bladder tumours through the urine passage, which is both diagnostic and therapeutic.
Surgical options for localised prostate cancer, discussed alongside active surveillance and radiotherapy.
Partial or radical nephrectomy depending on tumour size and location, with minimally invasive options where suitable.
Treatment planned together with medical and radiation oncologists at the hospital.
Regular surveillance tests and scans after treatment.
Men over 50, or over 45 with a family history, should discuss PSA testing with a urologist. Anyone with blood in the urine, especially smokers, should be evaluated promptly.
