Urinary Tract Cancer (Kidney, Ureter, Bladder, Prostate)

Cancer of the urinary tract encompasses the tumors that can arise in the organs that produce and transport urine, such as the kidney, ureter, bladder, and prostate. Each location has its own characteristics, so evaluation is individualized.

Possible signs:

• presence of blood in the urine
• changes in the frequency or the way of urinating
• pain in the lower back or the pelvis

Why address it promptly? Several of these signs also appear in benign conditions, so distinguishing them requires an appropriate evaluation.

Recommended specialist: the urologist is the one who studies the urinary tract and related organs. If you notice blood in the urine or persistent urinary symptoms, it is advisable to discuss it soon with a professional.
