The adrenal glands create hormones that help balance several bodily processes, including
blood pressure control, how your body gets energy from food and how it
reacts to stress.
Learn more about
adrenal cancer through the OU Health online library.
At OU Health, you benefit from the only adrenal cancer team in the region
that involves
endocrinology specialists to help manage this hormone-based condition.
Your treatment
options for adrenal cancer also may include advanced, minimally invasive
robotic-assisted
procedures that use small incisions, which create less scarring and lead
to faster recovery.
As part of the body’s urinary system that handles liquid waste, the
bladder temporarily
stores urine before it leaves the body. Learn more about

Health online library.

expert services and treatments for bladder cancer you’ll find at OU Health

This form of cancer, very rare in the United States, often starts in skin
cells of the penis.
Learn more about
penile cancer through the OU Health online library.
Your treatment options for penile cancer at OU Health may include advanced, minimally
invasive robotic-assisted procedures such as inguinal lymph node dissection. This
precision process uses only small incisions to remove lymph nodes in the
groin, which
spares surrounding tissues and reduces negative effects on bodily functions.
That means
much less scarring and faster recovery for you.
The prostate gland contributes to the male reproductive system. As men
age, the prostate
enlarges and may develop abnormal growths or tumors. Learn more about
prostate cancer through the OU Health online library.

lymph node
dissection (RPLND) at OU Health, one of fewer than 15 sites in the nation
where you’ll find
this minimally invasive procedure. The few tiny incisions involved in this
surgical technique
help reduce scarring and speed up your recovery.

As part of the
male urinary tract, two ureters transport urine from the kidneys to the
bladder. Then, the tube-shaped urethra carries urine from the bladder out
of the body
through the penis. Learn more about
urethral cancer with the OU Health online library.
For ureteral cancer, your treatment options at OU Health may include minimally invasive
procedures such as Jelmyto®, a chemotherapy solution available in Oklahoma
only at OU
Health. An injection of this medical gel into the kidneys allows the drug
to treat the cancer
by slowly draining through the ureters.
For urethral cancer, you can take advantage of minimally invasive approaches
that involve
smaller incisions, less scarring and faster recovery while also helping
preserve normal
anatomy.
At OU Health, you’ll find a wide range of advanced care and treatment
options for urologic
cancers, including some available at only a few other locations in the
United States.
Many urologic cancers respond well to the latest treatments, such as minimally invasive,
robotic-assisted surgery that uses significantly smaller incisions than
traditional open
procedures. For your care, the fellowship-trained surgeons on your OU Health
team apply
their years of focused experience with these innovative surgical techniques,
which means
you typically experience less scarring, lower risk of infection and faster recovery.
At OU Health, you also gain access to thousands of
cancer clinical trials through our National
Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated OU Health Stephenson Cancer Center and
the ongoing
scientific research at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center. When you
choose to participate in a clinical trial, you may receive new treatments
not available
anywhere else. Clinical trials in chemotherapy, radiation therapy, drug
therapy, and surgical techniques may uncover options that can be tailored
to your specific situation.
No matter which type of urologic cancer you or your loved one may face,
you and your
primary care doctor can take advantage of the OU Health multidisciplinary
team-based
approach to urologic cancer care. You benefit from extensive consultation with our
numerous Tumor Board members, who collaborate in a detailed review of your specific
situation.
You’ll work with highly experienced, fellowship-trained experts and
a variety of specialists
at OU Health urology services and OU Health Stephenson Cancer Center to
develop an
accurate diagnosis and an individualized treatment plan to address your
particular
condition.
