We treat all cancers of the genitals and urinary system, including the below.
7 Conditions
Adrenal Cancer
Adrenal glands are small glands that sit on top of the kidneys and produce hormones that direct the activity of every organ and tissue in the body. Adrenal cancer is very rare but when it does occur, it can be aggressive. An adrenal cortical carcinoma is a cancerous tumor that can produce hormones that cause unexpected changes in the body or press on organs, causing more symptoms.
Bladder cancer happens in the tissues of the bladder, the organ that holds urine. There are three types of bladder cancer: transitional cell carcinoma, the most common bladder cancer type, which begins in the transitional cells in the inner layer of the bladder; squamous cell carcinoma, a rare cancer triggered when squamous cells form in the bladder after a long-term infection or irritation; and adenocarcinoma, another rare cancer that starts when glandular cells form in the bladder after long-lasting bladder inflammation and irritation.
Germ cells are the reproductive cells in your body. For females, these are egg cells, and in males, they are sperm cells. Germ cell tumors start in these cells. Most develop in the testicles or ovaries, and can be cancerous (malignant) or non-cancerous (benign). While germ cell cancer is a rare kind of ovarian cancer, it is the most common type of testicular cancer.
Renal cell carcinoma is the most common type of kidney cancer and it starts as a single tumor within a kidney. Types of renal cell carcinoma include clear cell, papillary and chromophobe. Other types of kidney cancers include transitional cell carcinomas, Wilms tumors and renal sarcomas.
Cancer of the prostate, the gland below a man's bladder that produces fluid for semen, is more common among men older than 40. Risk factors for developing prostate cancer include being age 65 or older, family history, and being of African-American descent.
A cancer that begins when abnormal cells grow uncontrolled in the male sex organs that make and store sperm (testicles), testicular cancer is rare but the most common cancer among young men. Most testicular cancers begin in the cells that produce sperm, called germ cells. There are two main types of germ cells, seminomas, which grow slowly, and nonseminomas, which tend to grow and spread more quickly.
Urothelial cells are cells that line your urethra, bladder, kidneys, and other organs in your urinary system. Urothelial cancer is any cancer that starts in these cells. It's also called transitional cell cancer.
