What is Urologic Oncology?
Urologic tumors are among the most common cancers in men and include cancers of the:
Kidney
Bladder
Prostate
Testicles
Penis (rare)
Each condition varies in symptoms, but all require early diagnosis and specialized intervention to achieve the best outcomes.

Prostate Cancer: Signs & Treatment
The prostate is a male reproductive gland.
With age, some prostate cells can become cancerous, often without symptoms in early stages. Early detection is done through clinical exams and PSA blood tests, with MRI scans increasingly used for precise diagnosis.
Once diagnosed, treatment depends on the stage and progression of the disease:
Early or localized cases may be observed or treated via surgery (robotic or laparoscopic) or radiation
Advanced cases require more complex interventions
Dr. Yaman is one of the early Arab urologists trained in robot-assisted prostate cancer surgery.
Symptoms of Advanced or Metastatic Prostate Cancer
Difficulty urinating
Blood in the urine
Lower back pain
Urinary retention
When prostate cancer is suspected, a biopsy must be performed to confirm the diagnosis.
Traditionally, prostate biopsies were taken through the rectum. However, international guidelines now increasingly recommend the transperineal (through the skin) approach, as it is less painful, carries a lower risk of infection, and provides more accurate diagnostic results.
Dr. Yaman Al-Tal is among the first urologists in Jordan to adopt and utilize this advanced biopsy technique.
Kidney Cancer
Kidney cancer incidence is increasing and can affect all age groups. A key sign is blood in the urine.
Advanced imaging is used to diagnose tumors.
If caught early, tumors can often be removed using minimally invasive or robotic techniques, sometimes sparing the entire kidney. Immunotherapy also plays a role in more advanced cases.
Risk Factors & Prevention
Quit Smoking
There is a strong association between smoking and kidney cancer, in addition to its well-established link to bladder cancer. Quitting smoking significantly reduces the risk of developing urologic malignancies and improves overall health outcomes.
Control High Blood Pressure
Managing high blood pressure is essential for protecting kidney health and reducing cancer-related risks. Treatment includes:
Lifestyle modifications such as a healthy diet and regular exercise
Medications including diuretics, ACE inhibitors, and beta-blockers
Proper blood pressure control helps preserve kidney function and lowers long-term complications.
Avoid Obesity
Avoiding obesity is one of the most important preventive measures against urinary tract diseases and certain cancers. Maintaining a healthy weight:
Improves kidney function
Regulates hormonal balance
Reduces chronic inflammation
A balanced diet and regular physical activity play a key role in long-term urologic health.

FAQs about urology tumors treatment
Which urologic cancers are most common?
The most common is prostate cancer, particularly among men over the age of 50. It is followed by bladder cancer and kidney cancer.
Testicular and penile cancers are less common but are often highly treatable when detected early.
What symptoms require consultation with a urologist?
You should see a urologist if you experience:
Blood in the urine
Difficulty or pain during urination
Frequent urination, especially at night
Persistent lower back or pelvic pain
Unexplained urinary retention
Testicular swelling or lumps
Early evaluation significantly improves outcomes.
What factors increase the risk of urologic tumors?
Several risk factors are associated with urologic cancers, including:
Smoking
Obesity
High blood pressure
Chronic urinary tract inflammation
Occupational exposure to chemicals
Family history of cancer
Advancing age
Adopting a healthy lifestyle and undergoing regular screening reduces risk.
Can urologic tumors be cured?
Yes. Many urologic cancers are highly treatable, especially when detected early. Treatment options may include:
Active surveillance (for low-risk cases)
Surgery (robotic or minimally invasive)
Radiation therapy
Targeted therapy or immunotherapy
Outcomes depend on the type, stage, and overall patient health.
Are all urologic tumors cancerous?
No. Not all urologic tumors are malignant. Some growths may be benign and require monitoring rather than immediate treatment. Accurate diagnosis through imaging and biopsy determines the appropriate management plan.
What is the role of routine screening in prevention?
Routine screening plays a critical role in early detection. Recommended evaluations may include:
PSA blood testing (for prostate cancer screening)
Urinalysis
Ultrasound or imaging studies when indicated
Regular check-ups allow early intervention, which significantly improves treatment success and preserves quality of life.
