This is a unique department headed by a Uro- Oncologist who has been trained from reputed institutes in India and the United Kingdom, established the Department of Uro-Oncology to undertake the treatment of the entire spectrum of urological cancers which include cancers of kidney, ureter, bladder, prostate, testis and penis.

In kidney cancer, the work load consists of radical nephrectomy (RN), RN with IVC thrombus excision, nephron sparing surgery and nephroureterectomies. In bladder cancer, we have expert endo-urological treatment for superficial bladder Cancer and have a large intravesical BCG programme!
