You are not alone if you have a specific form of genitourinary cancer. Each year, a large number of people learn they have cancer of the reproductive or urinary tract. The urinary system and reproductive systems are among the sections of the genitourinary tract that are affected by genitourinary cancer. You may receive treatment for all forms of genitourinary cancer from skilled doctors.
Types
The organs, glands, and tubes that make up our reproductive and urinary systems are together referred to as the genitourinary tract. Some of these organs serve two purposes. Men's penis and urethra serve both reproductive and urogenital purposes. When cancer develops in these locations, it is often given the name of the organ or gland where it first appeared.
Male Genital Tract Cancers
The reproductive system of a male is in charge of producing and transporting sperm and the fluid that surrounds it, termed semen. The male hormones are balanced due to this mechanism.
Penile Cancer
It is an uncommon penis cancer that develops in an external male reproductive organ. Squamous cell carcinomas make up the majority of penile tumours.
Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer develops in prostate tissues. Prostate cancer often affects older men, and depending on the patient's age and the disease's features, treatment may not be necessary.
Testicular Cancer
It develops in the tissues of one or both testicles. Men in their 20s or 30s are most likely to get testicular cancer. Testicular germ cell tumours, which comprise the majority of testicular cancers, develop in germ cells (the cells that produce sperm). To know more, Visit our cancer care hospital in Hebbal.
Urinary Tract Cancers
The function of the urinary system is to eliminate waste products from the body, such as urine or urea. Additionally, this mechanism ensures that our bodies' potassium and salt levels are maintained in balance.

Genitourinary Cancer Stages
Before treatment begins, the doctor determines the type of genitourinary cancer and how far it has progressed (stage). If a tumour is found, doctors will determine its grade, how abnormal the cells look, and how many are dividing. Increasingly, molecular subtyping of the tumour tissue is being done to aid in developing a prognosis and plan of therapy. If cancer has moved beyond the location in the body where it began, doctors say it has metastasized. Staging indicates how far cancer has spread. Stages run from stage zero to stage four, depending on how advanced the cancer is and how far it has spread. The stage of cancer affects the recommended treatment plan. Consult with our experts to have the best treatment.
