Genitourinary Cancers

Genitourinary cancers refer to cancers of the urinary system of men and women and the reproductive organs in men. Women also develop cancer in their reproductive organs, which are classified as gynecologic cancers.
Urinary cancers are diseases that form when abnormal cells grow in the prostate, bladder, kidney, adrenal gland, urethra, or other parts of the urinary tract system. The UMMC Cancer Center and Research Institute genitourinary team treats both men and women with these types of cancer. Genital cancers in men include penile and testicular cancer.
