Department of Urologic Oncology
Medical services and specialties
Renal cancer, ureteropelvic cancer, bladder cancer, testicular cancer, prostate cancer and retroperitoneal tumor are targeted.
As area of specialties, we use all kinds of medical treatment including surgery, radiation and chemotherapy for prostate cancer, and we provide optimal treatment according to patient’s needs and medical conditions. For bladder cancer, in addition to endoscopic surgery, for patients who are progressive and forced to undergo total cystectomy, preoperative chemotherapy has brought excellent results. Also, creating a new bladder of the urinary tract reconstruction makes it possible to urinate through the urethra from a new bladder. It is created from using a patient’s own small intestine. For renal cancer, we actively perform laparoscopic surgery and aim for early discharge. We are also beginning to adapt laparoscopic surgery to cases of small-diameter renal carcinoma (relatively small tumor). In any case, since many cases show progressive type at the time of diagnosis, please consult with us first.
