Why choose Roper St. Francis Healthcare
Conditions we treat
Urologic cancers affect parts of the body that play an important role in your daily health, including the urinary system and male reproductive organs. While each diagnosis is different, early evaluation and personalized care can make a meaningful difference in how these cancers are treated.
Full continuum of care
Getting a clear diagnosis is an important first step, and we approach it with both precision and care.
Our urologic oncology team uses advanced testing to understand your condition and guide next steps, including:
- Biopsy and molecular testing to confirm cancer and define the type, grade and stage
- Blood and urine tests to detect signs of cancer
- Imaging (CT, MRI) to show the size and location of a tumor
- Physical exams to check for visible signs of disease
These insights help us recommend the right next steps and begin planning your care.
Your care plan is thoughtfully designed around your cancer type, stage and overall health. Treatment options may include:
- Chemotherapy to shrink or kill cancer via pill form or through IV infusion
- Immunotherapy to harness your immune system to stop cancer
- Interventional therapies, such as cryotherapy, radiofrequency ablation and irreversible electroporation, to destroy cancer
- Intravesical therapy to deliver medication directly into the bladder to treat cancer at its source
- Radiation therapy to shrink tumors before surgery and reduce risk of recurrence after surgery
- Surgical resection to remove cancer via robotic urologic surgery,l aparoscopic surgery or open surgery
- Targeted therapy to block specific signals to the cancer cells and their environment
For many people, surgery is an important step. Our goal is to remove cancer while helping you maintain as much normal function as possible.
A diagnosis can affect more than your physical health. We provide guidance and support to help you navigate each phase of care with confidence, so you never feel alone in the process.

- Cancer prevention and screenings to help you stay proactive about your health.
