This is a unique department to undertake the treatment of the entire spectrum of urological cancers which include cancers of kidney, ureter, bladder, prostate, testis and penis. The Department also undertakes work on adrenal lesions, retroperitoneal tumours and paediatric urological tumours.
In kidney cancer, the work load consists of radical nephrectomy, with thrombus excision, nephron sparing surgery and
nephroureterectomies. In bladder cancer, we have expert endo-urological treatment for superficial bladder cancer and have
a large in travesical BCG programme.
Radical cystectomy is routinely performed in the Department of Uro-Oncology. Retroperitoneal LN dissection and post
chemos are RPLND routinely done here with excellent results.
This unit takes great pride in having treated over more than 300 adrenal tumours over last Twenty Eight years, majority of
them being Pheochromocytomas - a very challenging surgical exercise. Wilm's Tumours are the commonest paediatric
urological cancers we come across.
