Modern Uro Oncology Care Focused on Recovery & Quality of Life

Cancers we diagnose and treat

Kidney cancer

Kidney tumours are now often found by chance on an ultrasound done for another reason. Small tumours can usually be removed while saving the rest of the kidney through laparoscopic partial nephrectomy. Larger tumours may need removal of the whole kidney (radical nephrectomy), usually by keyhole surgery.

Bladder cancer

Painless blood in the urine is the most common warning sign. Diagnosis and first treatment are done by cystoscopy and TURBT, which removes the tumour through the urine passage and tells us how deep it goes. Non-muscle-invasive tumours are then managed with bladder instillations (BCG or chemotherapy) and regular check cystoscopies. Muscle-invasive tumours need more extensive treatment, planned with oncology colleagues.

Prostate cancer

Prostate cancer often has no symptoms early on and is picked up by a PSA blood test or examination. Diagnosis uses MRI and a targeted biopsy. Treatment ranges from active surveillance for low-risk disease to radical prostatectomy, radiotherapy or hormone therapy for higher-risk cancers.

Testicular and penile cancer

A painless lump or swelling in the testis should always be checked promptly. Testicular cancer is one of the most curable cancers when treated early. Penile cancer is rare and also highly treatable when diagnosed early, with organ-preserving surgery where possible.

Warning signs you should not ignore

• Blood in the urine, even once and even without pain
• A lump or swelling in the testis
• A raised PSA result
• Persistent pain in the side or back, or a mass in the abdomen
• A sore or growth on the penis that does not heal
• Unexplained weight loss along with urinary symptoms

Our approach

Every cancer case is staged carefully with appropriate scans and pathology. Where possible, treatment uses minimally invasive (laparoscopic or endoscopic) surgery to reduce pain and speed up recovery. Decisions on chemotherapy, immunotherapy or radiotherapy are made together with medical and radiation oncologists. Preserving kidney function, bladder control and sexual health is part of the plan from the start, not an afterthought.

Follow-up and survivorship

Most urological cancers need structured follow-up with scans, blood tests or cystoscopy for several years. A clear follow-up schedule is shared with every patient, so recurrences are detected early.

Uro-oncology care in Koramangala and Bellandur

Dr. Bivek Kumar sees patients at Superhealth Hospital, Koramangala (OPD Monday to Saturday, 9 am to 6 pm) and Nelivigi Multispeciality Hospital, Bellandur (OPD Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, 7 pm to 8 pm; Sunday by appointment only). Second opinions on existing reports and scans are welcome.

More questions patients ask

Does blood in urine always mean cancer?

No. Infections and stones are more common causes, but blood in the urine should always be investigated, especially in smokers and people over 40.

Can a kidney tumour be removed without removing the whole kidney?

Yes. Many small kidney tumours can be removed by partial nephrectomy, preserving the healthy part of the kidney.

Is every prostate cancer treated with surgery?

No. Low-risk prostate cancers are often monitored safely with active surveillance, avoiding the side effects of treatment.

Can I get a second opinion on my cancer treatment plan?

Yes. Bring your scans, biopsy reports and previous summaries, and the options will be explained to you in detail.
