Title: What Exactly Does An Oncologist Do?


1
What exactly does an oncologist do? A urological
oncologist specializes in the prevention,
detection, and treatment of cancer in the urinary
system. The male and female urinary tracts, as
well as male reproductive organs such as the
prostate, testicles, and adrenal glands, are
included. Urologic Cancer Types Adrenal
Carcinoma Adrenal cancer is rare cancer that
starts in the adrenal glands, which are
positioned above the kidneys. Adrenocortical
carcinoma is the most prevalent type of adrenal
cancer that arises in the adrenal cortex.
Adrenal cancer has no recognized cause, and most
cases have no identifiable risk factors. Fever,
chronic stomach pain, abdominal lumps that can
be felt with the fingers, feeling full, and
weight loss are all classic symptoms of adrenal
cancer. Cancer of the Bladder Although the
disease is linked to cigarette smoking and some
chemicals, particularly aniline dyes, the exact
origins of bladder cancer are unknown. Blood in
the urine is the most prevalent symptom of
bladder cancer (hematuria). Urinating more
frequently, difficulty initiating, or halting
urine flow, weak or interrupted urine flow, and
painful urination are some of the other
indications and symptoms. Renal Cancer Although
no conclusive causes of kidney cancer have been
identified by doctors, there are a variety of
kidney-related factors that can contribute to the
disease's development. Age is one of the most
important risk factors for kidney cancer. Kidney
cancer is more common in those over 40 than in
young adults and children. Smokers have a higher
risk than nonsmokers, and those who have smoked
for a long time have a larger risk. Certain pain
relievers, high blood pressure, and obesity can
all raise the risk of kidney cancer. Cancer of
the prostate The prostate is a walnut-sized
gland positioned between the bladder and the
penis that is responsible for reproductive and
urine activities. Prostate cancer is the second
most frequent malignancy in men and the second
highest cause of death from cancer. It is not
rare for prostate cancer to present with no
symptoms in its early stages. You may have
difficulty peeing, a frequent desire to urinate,
discomfort or pain when urinating and
ejaculating, and impotence as your cancer
develops. Unexpected urination, back pain, and
bone fractures from weaker bones are all symptoms
of advanced prostate cancer. Cancer of the
Testicles Testicular cancer is one of the rarer
cancers, yet it is still the most frequent in men
aged 15 to 35. Testicular cancer, like other
types of cancer, has no known etiology, although
it is exceedingly curable. A

family history of cancer, aberrant testicular
development, or an undescended testicle is all
risk factors for testicular cancer. Treatments
for Urology Oncology Chemotherapy Chemotherapy
is a treatment that uses drugs to kill cancer
cells by inhibiting their capacity to grow and
divide. Systemic chemotherapy is a type of
chemotherapy that is given through the
bloodstream to cancer cells all over the body.
Chemotherapy has numerous side effects and
hazards, despite its effectiveness in
eliminating cancer cells. Nausea, vomiting,
diarrhea, hair loss, lack of appetite, fever,
infertility, and nerve damage are among the
dangers. Immunotherapy Immunotherapy is a
cancer-fighting treatment that uses
immunotherapeutic allergy injections to bolster
the body's natural defenses. The treatment
improves, targets, or restores immune system
function by using components from the body or a
laboratory. Immunotherapy side effects include
weariness, injection site edema, nausea,
diarrhea, and fever. Because kidney cancer is one
of the few malignancies that the immune system
can combat, immunotherapy is a particularly
successful treatment option. Surgery Using
Laparoscopes A surgeon inserts telescopic
operating equipment via multiple small holes in
the body during laparoscopic surgery. Surgeons
can remove or treat the affected area once within
these keyhole incisions. Patients appreciate
this surgery since it is minimally invasive and
requires little recuperation time. Our hospital
