Urologic Cancer

We provide expert diagnosis and treatment of all urologic cancers, including kidney, prostate, bladder and testis. For prostate cancer, nerve-sparing surgery performed at our institution had improved potency following surgery. In combination with our Division of Radiation Oncology, brachytherapy (radioactive seed implantation) can be performed for prostate cancer as well.
