Urological cancers are highly treatable when found early. Care is planned with imaging, staging and, where needed, oncology and radiotherapy colleagues — with clear, honest counselling about what treatment can and cannot achieve.
Procedures we perform
- Kidney Cancer

- Tumour markers for testicular cancer
- Bone scan or PET-CT where indicated
Treatment options
TURBT with intravesical therapy
Endoscopic removal of bladder tumour, followed by BCG or chemotherapy instillation.
Partial or radical nephrectomy
Kidney-preserving surgery whenever the tumour size and site allow.
Radical prostatectomy or radiotherapy
Chosen according to stage, grade, age and patient preference.
Orchidectomy with oncology care
Surgery plus chemotherapy for testicular cancer, which has very high cure rates.
Recovery
Recovery depends on the procedure — from day-care TURBT to five to seven days after major surgery. Structured surveillance with scans and markers continues for years afterwards.
