Urologic Cancer Unit
The UC San Diego Moores Urologic Cancer Unit offers leading-edge approaches to the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of urologic cancers and other genitourinary diseases. Because urologic cancers often require a variety of treatments, we use a multidisciplinary — or team — approach involving urologic surgeons, medical oncologists, and radiation oncologists. We have the clinical knowledge and collaborative approach to provide you with the optimal therapy based on your unique case.
