Genitourinary Cancers
Kidney Tumour
An overview of kidney tumours, how they are detected, and the treatment options. Most kidney tumours are now found incidentally on imaging done for unrelated reasons.
Small Kidney Tumour Treatment
Small kidney tumours (under 4 cm) have several treatment options including active surveillance, partial removal of the kidney, ablation, and full kidney removal. The right option depends on the tumour and the patient.
Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer
Muscle invasive bladder cancer is a more advanced form that has grown into the bladder muscle wall. Treatment usually involves a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, and sometimes radiation.
Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer
Non-muscle invasive bladder cancer is confined to the inner lining of the bladder. Treatment usually involves removing the tumour through the urethra (TURBT), often followed by medication placed directly into the bladder. Long-term surveillance is essential.
Testicular Cancer
Testicular cancer is the most common cancer in young men ages 15-35, but it is also one of the most curable. Treatment usually starts with removal of the affected testicle, followed by additional treatment based on the type and stage.
