Urologic cancers we treat

Urologic oncologists treat any cancer that develops in the urinary tract, prostate or testicles, including:

Bladder cancer: Irregular masses of cells that form in the bladder, the organ that holds urine before it exits the body

Kidney cancer: 肿瘤起源于肾脏，肾脏是清除血液中多余液体和废物的器官

Prostate cancer: 起源于前列腺的癌症，前列腺是产生精液的小腺体

Testicular cancer: 始于睾丸的癌症，睾丸是产生精子和睾丸素的男性器官

Urologic cancer treatments we offer

我们的泌尿肿瘤学家与内科肿瘤学家和放射肿瘤学家合作，提供治疗性治疗. These treatments may include:

Chemotherapy: 这种治疗癌症的方法包括使用强力药物摧毁快速生长的细胞, including cancer cells. 患者可以通过口服药物或静脉(IV)线接受化疗.

Radiation therapy: Doctors use high doses of radiation to shrink or destroy tumors. 在整个癌症治疗过程中，患者可能需要进行几次放射治疗.

Brachytherapy: Oncologists place small radioactive seeds directly in the prostate gland. 辐射到达前列腺后对周围组织的影响很小.

External beam radiation therapy (EBRT): 放射肿瘤学家放置一台机器，引导外部辐射束照射到体内的癌细胞. This is the most common type of radiation therapy.

Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT): 放射肿瘤学家使用专门的技术来塑造放射光束以适应肿瘤的形状. 然后，他们直接向肿瘤输送精确的高强度辐射剂量.

Surgery: 外科医生的目标是在保持健康组织完整的情况下尽可能多地切除肿瘤. They may also remove nearby lymph nodes or other structures. 我们的专家尽可能多地使用机器人辅助和微创技术. 这些方法切口更小，疼痛更少，恢复更快.

Targeted therapy: These medicines identify and target cancer cells. They may destroy cancer cells or stop them from growing.

Immunotherapy: 这种疗法可以增强你的免疫系统，更有效地对抗癌症. 患者服用特定的药物、蛋白质或血液成分来增强免疫功能.

Genomic tumor profiling: 我们的肿瘤学家取一小部分癌细胞样本进行分析，寻找独特的基因变化. They use this information to personalize cancer treatment, finding the options that are most likely to be effective.
