Common Questions About Urologic Cancers

Beebe Urology physicians will discuss your individual needs based on the type of cancer you have and other factors. Beebe treats many forms of urologic cancers, including bladder, kidney, and prostate cancer. Patients can expect to work with a comprehensive team of experts from diagnostics to treatment and surgery.

Urologic cancer covers a wide range of cancers, including bladder, prostate, urethral, kidney, and reproductive. These cancers can be diagnosed in a number of ways, such as:

  • Cystoscopy or ureteroscopy, using a tool with a tiny light or camera to check the ureter (the tube that carries urine), bladder and kidney for tumors.
  • Lab tests to look for changes in the blood that could be signs of cancer.
  • Ultrasounds
  • Biopsy

Bladder cancer is cancer that forms in the lining of the bladder, the organ that stores urine. Bladder cancer may be confined to the lining of the bladder (superficial) or may spread through the lining of the bladder and invade nearby muscles, organs or lymph nodes.

Bladder cancer symptoms may include: blood in urine, frequent urination, or feeling the need to urinate without urinating; lower back pain; or pain while urinating. The existence of these symptoms does not mean it is cancer, however. Only your doctor can confirm the presence of cancer, so be sure to explain all of your symptoms.

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men. The prostate gland is located just below the bladder and is part of the male reproductive system. The prostate is about the size of a walnut. Cancer forms when malignant cells form in the tissues of the prostate itself. Physicians perform screening tests for prostate cancer in men over the age of 50.

Prostate cancer symptoms can include:

  • Weak or interrupted flow of urine
  • Frequent urination (especially at night)
  • Trouble urinating
  • Pain or burning during urination
  • Blood in the urine or semen
  • A pain in the back, hips, or pelvis that doesn't go away
  • Painful ejaculation

These symptoms may also be unrelated to cancer. Only your physician can confirm the presence of cancer.
