The Urologic Oncology Division provides comprehensive, up-to-date medical and surgical therapy for all genitourinary malignancies. Unique to the division is an active community program for cancer screening, participation in in-house, regional and national clinical trials programs and innovative clinical and basic science research on genitourinary malignancies.
In addition to performing the most up-to-date surgical techniques such as laparoscopic and hand-assisted laparoscopic radical surgery, the division works closely with Radiation Oncology facilitating the brachytherapy program for prostate cancer and with Medical Oncology, initiating new chemotherapy trials for genitourinary malignancies.
Additionally, the new procedure of sural nerve interposition grafts during radical prostatectomy was pioneered by Dr. Edward Kim and continues to be an innovative technique unique to this division.
