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

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.
