Abstract

Vanilia Sharada

Uro-oncology is a specialized branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of cancers affecting the genitourinary system, which includes the kidneys, bladder, prostate, testes, and adrenal glands. The field of uro-oncology has witnessed significant advancements in recent years, revolutionizing both the diagnosis and treatment of urological cancers, while concurrently emphasizing patient-centric care. Prostate cancer is the most prevalent cancer among men. Advances in diagnostic tools, such as multiparametric MRI and targeted biopsy techniques, have improved accuracy in detecting and staging prostate cancer. Innovations in imaging technologies and minimally invasive surgical approaches, like robotic-assisted surgery, have enhanced both diagnosis and treatment outcomes for bladder cancer.
