Huntsman Cancer Institute physicians take an aggressive approach to treating patients with urologic cancers. If tests show that you have a urologic cancer, we offer a variety of treatment options, including:

• surgery to remove the tumor and nearby affected tissues, with an emphasis on techniques that preserve function
• chemotherapy, given before surgery to shrink the tumor or afterward to kill additional cancer cells
• radiation therapy, the delivery of finely focused beams of radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors

Your doctor may recommend one of these approaches, or a combination of them, depending on your type of cancer and the extent of the tumor's growth and stage. We individualize treatment decisions to specific patients' needs. Huntsman Cancer Institute physicians can work with your personal physician to assure continuity of care.

Huntsman Cancer Institute physicians are conducting a number of clinical trials of new chemotherapy drugs, drug combinations, and other treatment approaches for urologic cancers. For information on clinical trials that are currently enrolling patients, please visit the clinical trials section of this site, or call the Clinical Trials Office at (801) 581-4477.
