Major Urologic Cancers We Treat

Urologic cancers can develop in various parts of the urinary and male reproductive systems, including the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and prostate. Our center provides specialized evaluation and treatment for major urologic tumors.

Major Urologic Cancers

Prostate Cancer Prostate cancer may be evaluated using PSA testing, physical examination, prostate imaging, and, when indicated, prostate biopsy. Treatment is determined according to the cancer stage and the patient's individual condition.
Kidney Cancer Kidney cancer is evaluated based on tumor size, location, extent, and the patient's overall health. Surgical treatment and other management options are considered according to the individual case.
Bladder Cancer Blood in the urine, or hematuria, is one of the important symptoms of bladder cancer. Urine testing, cystoscopy, and imaging studies may be used for diagnosis and staging.
Ureter & Renal Pelvis Cancer Tumors of the upper urinary tract may be evaluated using imaging studies and endoscopic examinations to determine the location and extent of disease.
Testicular Cancer Testicular tumors may be evaluated through physical examination, ultrasound, blood tests, and other appropriate diagnostic procedures.
Other Urologic Tumors The center also evaluates and treats other tumors involving the urinary tract and male reproductive system, depending on the patient's condition.

Robotic Surgery for Urologic Cancer

The Robotic Surgery Center at Inje University Ilsan Paik Hospital performs robotic procedures across several specialties. The hospital introduced the latest da Vinci 5 robotic surgical system in 2025, and the system is used by the Department of Urology for selected prostate, kidney, and bladder cancer surgeries.

Latest da Vinci 5 Robotic Surgical System

The da Vinci 5 is an advanced minimally invasive surgical platform that provides high-resolution three-dimensional visualization and allows surgeons to control robotic instruments with precision.

  • High-resolution 3D visualization
  • Motion scaling and tremor reduction
  • Precise robotic instrument movement
  • Force Feedback technology
  • Enhanced control for delicate surgical procedures
Robotic surgery is not appropriate for every patient.

The choice of surgical approach depends on the cancer type and stage, tumor location and size, the patient's overall health, previous surgeries, and other clinical factors. Robotic surgery, laparoscopic surgery, or open surgery may be considered after consultation with the specialist.

The Advantages of University Hospital-Based Cancer Care

Cancer treatment may involve more than one medical specialty. A university hospital can provide coordinated access to specialists, diagnostic services, surgical care, systemic therapy, radiation therapy, and follow-up care within an integrated medical system.

Specialty / Service Role in Urologic Cancer Care
Urology Diagnosis and surgical treatment of prostate, kidney, bladder, and other urologic cancers, including selected robotic and laparoscopic procedures.
Radiology CT, MRI, ultrasound, and other imaging studies help evaluate tumor location, size, extent, and relationships with surrounding structures.
Pathology Tissue and surgical specimens are examined to determine the cancer type, pathological characteristics, and other information important for diagnosis and treatment planning.
Medical Oncology Systemic treatments, including anticancer drug therapy, may be considered for advanced or metastatic disease when appropriate.
Radiation Oncology Radiation therapy may be considered according to the cancer type, stage, treatment goals, and individual clinical circumstances.
Nuclear Medicine Nuclear medicine imaging and functional assessments may support diagnosis, staging, and treatment planning when clinically indicated.
Anesthesiology & Critical Care Preoperative assessment, anesthesia, postoperative recovery, and intensive care support are provided when necessary according to the patient's condition.

Comprehensive Care Beyond Cancer Treatment

Urologic cancer patients may also have other medical conditions, such as hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, or kidney disease. University hospital-based care allows the patient's overall health and medical conditions to be considered alongside cancer treatment.

Precise Diagnosis Blood tests, imaging, endoscopy, biopsy, and other appropriate evaluations
Surgical Treatment Robotic, laparoscopic, or open surgery depending on the individual case
Multidisciplinary Treatment Coordination with medical oncology and radiation oncology when appropriate
Long-Term Follow-Up Regular follow-up to monitor treatment response, recurrence, and overall health

When Should You Visit a Urologic Cancer Center?

  • Your PSA level is elevated or an abnormal prostate finding has been identified during a health examination.
  • You have unexplained or recurrent blood in the urine, also known as hematuria.
  • Imaging studies show a suspicious mass or tumor involving the kidney, bladder, prostate, or urinary tract.
  • You have been diagnosed with a urologic cancer and need a detailed treatment plan.
  • You have received a cancer diagnosis at another hospital and would like a specialist consultation or second opinion.
  • You would like to discuss whether robotic or laparoscopic surgery may be appropriate for your condition.
  • You need regular follow-up after treatment for a urologic cancer.
  • You need cancer treatment while also managing other chronic medical conditions.

Urologic Cancer Care Process

After reviewing your symptoms, medical history, and existing test results, the medical team performs additional evaluations when necessary. The cancer type and stage are then assessed to develop an individualized treatment plan.

STEP 01 Consultation Symptoms and medical history
STEP 02 Diagnostic Tests Blood, imaging, endoscopy, and other tests
STEP 03 Diagnosis & Staging Cancer type and stage assessment
STEP 04 Treatment Planning Individualized treatment strategy
STEP 05 Treatment Surgery, medication, radiation, or other treatment
STEP 06 Follow-Up Long-term monitoring and follow-up care

The Right Treatment Starts with the Right Assessment

Even patients with the same type of urologic cancer may require different treatment approaches depending on the cancer stage, tumor location and size, overall health, and individual circumstances. No single surgical technique or treatment is appropriate for every patient.

Cancer Type

The location and biological characteristics of the cancer, such as prostate, kidney, or bladder cancer, are considered when selecting treatment.

Cancer Stage

Tumor size, local invasion, lymph node involvement, and spread to other organs are evaluated when determining the extent of disease.

Overall Health

Cardiovascular, pulmonary, kidney, and other medical conditions, as well as current medications, may affect treatment decisions.

Surgical Options

Robotic, laparoscopic, or open surgery may be considered based on tumor location, extent, and the patient's clinical condition.

Quality of Life

In addition to cancer control, treatment planning may consider urinary function, sexual function, recovery, and other quality-of-life factors.

Long-Term Follow-Up

Regular follow-up after treatment may be necessary to monitor for recurrence, treatment effects, and the patient's overall health.
