Urologic cancer is a cancer disease that affects the organs of both the male and female urinary systems, including
the reproductive system of men. The urinary tract system is responsible for filtering your blood and removing waste
and excess water in your body. This system in your body acts as its drainage system.

There are many types of urological cancer, some can affect both sexes while some are gender-specific. These types
of urologic cancer are experienced by both males and females:
∙Bladder Cancer
The bladder is an organ that stores urine before it is flushed out of the body. Bladder cancer is a common type
of cancer that begins in the cells, called urothelial cells, that make up the urinary bladder. Urothelial cells are
also found in your kidneys and ureters that connect the kidney and bladder, Urothelial cancer can be found in
the kidney and ureters too, but it is more common in the bladder.
∙Kidney Cancer
Kidney cancer is a type of cancer that starts in your kidneys, it is the abnormal growth of cells in the tissues of
your kidney. These calls will eventually form a mass. When these tumors become cancerous or malignant, they
can spread to your other tissues and vital organs.
∙Adrenal Cancer
Adrenal cancer is a rare type of cancer that starts in one or both of your adrenal glands, which are located on
top of your kidneys. Adrenal glands produce hormones, chemicals that help control how the body works. They
affect things like hair growth, blood pressure, sex drive, and even how stress is handled.
These types of urological cancer are the types of cancer that only affect the male population:
∙Penile Cancer
Penile cancer, or cancer of the penis, is a rare condition that affects men. It happens when the cells of your
penis grow out of control. This is a rare form of cancer, but if caught early on, treatment is manageable. Early
detection will not affect your ability to stand when urinating or your ability to have sex.
∙Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer begins when the cells in the prostate gland start to grow out of control. Your prostate glands
are the ones responsible for making some fluid that is part of your semen. The prostate is located below the
bladder and in front of your rectum.
∙Testicular Cancer
Testicular cancer happens when a malignant cell develops in the tissues of one or both of your testicles. It can
affect men at any age, but it is more common in men between ages 15 to 35 years old. The testicles are part of
your male reproductive system, these are the two walnut-shaped glands that are held together in a sac, called
the scrotum. Your testicles are the ones responsible for storing sperm and making your male hormones called
testosterone.
