Urological Cancers – Overview

Urological cancers affect the kidneys, bladder, prostate, testes, and ureter. Dr. Pragnesh Desai offers expert surgical management using robotic and laparoscopic techniques for the best oncological and functional outcomes.

Types of Urological Cancers Treated

Kidney Cancer (RCC)

Treated with robotic or laparoscopic partial/radical nephrectomy. Early detection leads to excellent survival rates.

Bladder Cancer

TURBT for superficial tumours; robotic cystectomy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer.

Prostate Cancer

Nerve-sparing robotic prostatectomy, radiation, or active surveillance depending on risk group.

Testicular Cancer

Radical orchiectomy followed by surveillance, chemotherapy, or RPLND based on staging.

Warning Signs of Urological Cancer

Blood in urine (haematuria)
Lump in kidney region
Elevated PSA level
Unexplained weight loss
Testicular swelling or mass
Persistent urinary symptoms

Treatment Approach

1

Diagnosis & Staging

CT scan, MRI, biopsy, and tumour markers to accurately stage the cancer.

2

Multidisciplinary Review

Dr. Desai coordinates with oncologists and radiologists for comprehensive cancer care.

3

Surgical Treatment

Robotic or laparoscopic surgery for precise tumour removal with organ preservation when possible.

4

Post-treatment Follow-up

Regular imaging, PSA tests, and surveillance to monitor for recurrence.
