Mission

The Unit of Urologic Oncology addresses the diagnosis, treatment and research of male and female urinary tract cancers (kidney, ureter, bladder, urethra) and of the male sexual apparatus (prostate, testicles, penis) without neglecting aspects of general urology, primarily prostatic hypertrophy.The management of the surgical therapeutic path is multidisciplinary. In fact, every patient is taken care of by a team comprised of urologists, oncologists, radiotherapists, radiologists, nuclear physicians, pathologists, stomal therapists and rehabilitation specialists. These professional figures follow the patient at every phase, from diagnosis to surgery, to functional rehabilitation (continence recovery, ostomy management) and sexual rehabilitation (after prostatic / radical bladder surgery), to follow up. Also, dedicated staff manage the booking of preparatory exams and visits; thanks to this organizational model, preoperative hospitalization is minimized because preparation for surgery mainly takes place on an outpatient basis.

The Urologic Oncology ward is comprised of 20 beds for ordinary hospitalization, week surgery and day surgery, so as to satisfy all therapeutic, invasive diagnostic (e.g. prostatic biopsy) and follow-up (e.g. control cystoscopy) needs.
The surgical / endoscopic activity, for a total of about 1,200 operations every year, is usually carried out with minimally invasive and laparoscopic techniques. The unit also organizes periodic refresher courses for medical specialists of the GUONE (Uro Oncological Group of the North East) and both specialized and informative conferences for citizens.
