Conditions treated

Cancers managed in this speciality

Kidney cancer

Renal cell carcinoma — from small incidentally detected tumours to locally advanced disease.

Bladder cancer

Muscle-invasive and non-muscle-invasive urothelial cancers.

Prostate cancer

Surgical management within a stage-appropriate, multidisciplinary plan.

Testicular cancer

Highly curable cancers of young men — germ cell tumours.

Penile cancer

Organ-preserving and radical approaches with reconstruction planning.

Adrenal & retroperitoneal tumours

Tumours of the adrenal gland and retroperitoneum.

Warning signs

Symptoms that deserve attention

These symptoms do not always mean cancer — but they should never be ignored. Early evaluation makes treatment simpler and outcomes better.

When to see a doctor: if any of these symptoms persist beyond two to three weeks, seek evaluation promptly. Early-stage cancers are far more treatable — and often curable.

The care pathway

From accurate diagnosis to the right operation

Diagnosis & staging

  • Urine tests & cystoscopy for bladder evaluation
  • CECT / MRI of the abdomen and pelvis for staging
  • Tumour markers — PSA, AFP, β-hCG, LDH as indicated
  • Ultrasound & biopsy where tissue diagnosis is needed
  • Multidisciplinary planning with medical & radiation oncology

Surgical treatment

  • Radical & partial nephrectomy for kidney tumours
  • Radical cystectomy with urinary diversion for muscle-invasive bladder cancer
  • High inguinal orchidectomy for testicular tumours
  • Penile-conserving surgery & inguinal lymph node dissection for penile cancer
  • Retroperitoneal lymph node dissection in selected cases

Why patients choose Dr. Akash

Dr. Akash's superspecialty training at Tata Memorial Hospital included structured exposure to urological malignancies — combining radical oncologic surgery with organ- and function-preserving approaches wherever the cancer allows.

Every case is planned through multidisciplinary discussion — so surgery, chemotherapy and radiation work together, in the right order, for the best outcome.
