Urological Oncology is a speciality that deals with diagnosing, staging, and treating cancers affecting the urinary system of males and females as well as the male reproductive system. These include the urinary bladder, kidneys, prostate, testicles, ureters, and the penis. These cancers can significantly impact an individual’s quantity and quality of life when diagnosed. Therefore, proper medical attention and treatment courses are required to avoid severe complications.
At Apollo Cancer Centre, Hyderabad, we have a team of experienced urologists, uro-oncologists, and specialists from other multidisciplinary teams to deliver personalised care for patients with urological cancers. This collaborative approach ensures accurate diagnosis, advanced treatment options, and holistic support tailored to each patient.

Treatments and Procedures at Apollo Cancer Centre
Recognised as one of the best multispecialty hospitals in Hyderabad with high treatment success rates. Our uro-oncologists are adept at performing several procedures, including, but not limited to:
Based on the location of the cancer, advanced and minimally invasive surgeries are performed at Apollo Cancer Centre, such as robotic surgery using the latest intuitive Da Vinci Xi system. We regularly perform partial nephrectomy to preserve kidney function and, at the same time, remove the cancerous growth. Robotic prostatectomy with preservation of the nerves so that the cancer can be taken out while maintaining the patient’s ability to engage in sexual activity. Robotic radical cystectomy and neobladder reconstruction in bladder cancer, where cancer-containing bladder is taken out but the patient will have a new bladder reconstructed so that he/she can pass urine in a normal fashion.
At Apollo Cancer Centre, we perform advanced image-guided radiation therapy procedures to kill cancer cells and manage side effects, such as brachytherapy, intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), image-guided radiation therapy, and the latest targeted Lutetium radioligand therapy.
These include chemotherapy, hormone therapy, immunotherapy, or targeted therapy to stop the spread and growth of cancer cells in the urinary system.
