Types of Urologic Cancer

Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer is the most common diagnosis for men and is treatable. Many men are found to have prostate cancer following a biopsy for elevation in their prostate specific antigen test (PSA). Our dedicated care team is here to provide the latest treatments to help you get back to doing the things you love.

Novant Health’s prostate cancer treatment includes next-level technologies like our new positron scan that helps us target your cancer and begin treating it quickly. You may also qualify for a clinical trial to access the latest in innovative treatments that can lead to improved outcomes.

Your experienced, multidisciplinary care team will help determine the right bladder cancer treatment plan for you based on the type and stage of bladder cancer you have.

Kidney Cancer

You may not have symptoms of kidney cancer during its early stages. If cancer is found, you may qualify for minimally invasive robotic surgery for a faster and more comfortable experience. We focus on providing kidney-sparing cancer treatments where possible, including immunotherapy and Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) that delivers high-focused beams of radiation directly to the tumor while sparing surrounding normal tissue.

Testicular Cancer

Although rare, testicular cancer requires immediate treatment, such as surgery followed by chemotherapy and radiation therapy, from a testicular cancer specialist. Early detection is critical to improved outcomes. Most lumps or swellings in the scrotum are not in the testicle and are not a sign of cancer, but you should always have them checked out as soon as possible just in case.

Immunotherapy

Immunotherapy involves sophisticated techniques to use your own cells to activate your immune system and attack urologic cancer. Novant Health cancer specialists pioneered immunotherapy by participating in clinical trials, and we continue to improve the care we offer by following the latest research and technologies.

Surgical Oncology

If you have a tumor that can be removed surgically, Novant Health offers several surgical options, including procedures where you go home the same day. Many of our surgeons are skilled in using the state-of-the-art robotic daVinci® Surgical System, an alternative to open and other conventional surgeries, which allows our providers to handle complex, delicate surgeries with unmatched precision and only tiny incisions. This means an easier and faster recovery for you with less pain, scarring or risk of infection so you can quickly get back to what matters most.

Radiation Therapy

Your urologic cancer treatment may include radiation therapy. Your radiation therapy could involve receiving high energy X-rays externally from a machine called a linear accelerator or receiving radiation internally from implanted radioactive sources (brachytherapy). Brachytherapy is a common method used to treat various types of prostate cancer.
