Uro-Oncology
Uro-Oncology
Uro-oncology focuses on cancers of the urinary tract and the male reproductive system. This includes cancers of the kidney, bladder, prostate, testis, ureter, and adrenal gland. These cancers can significantly impact urinary function, sexual health, and overall quality of life. Early diagnosis and specialized treatment are crucial for achieving the best possible outcomes.
Dr. Prosenjit Das brings extensive expertise in managing urological cancers with advanced minimally invasive, laparoscopic, and robotic surgical techniques, combined with evidence-based therapies tailored to each patient’s unique condition.
