Urologic cancers affect the organs of the urinary and male reproductive systems. These include cancers of the kidneys, bladder, prostate, testicles, and penis. Each type presents unique symptoms, risk factors, and treatment approaches.
It is the most common urologic cancer in men, often slow-growing and highly treatable when detected early.
Typically presents with blood in the urine and is more common in smokers and older adults.
Often called renal call carcinoma, or RCC. Kidney cancer may be found incidentally during imaging for other conditions.
Mainly affects younger men and has a high cure rate, especially when caught early.
Rare but potentially serious disease that typically begins on the skin of the penis and can be effectively treated when diagnosed early.
Early detection through regular screenings and prompt evaluation of symptoms plays a key role in successful treatment. Advances in surgery, targeted therapies, and minimally invasive techniques continue to improve outcomes for patients with urologic cancers.
