Frequently Asked Questions

When should I start screening for prostate or bladder cancer?
For prostate cancer, discuss screening at age 50 (or 40-45 with risk factors). Bladder cancer doesn't have routine screening, but blood in urine should always be evaluated.
What causes blood in urine?
Blood in urine (hematuria) can be caused by infections, kidney stones, or cancers of the bladder, kidney, or prostate. Any blood in urine should be evaluated promptly.
What is BCG therapy for bladder cancer?
BCG (Bacillus Calmette-Guérin) is an immunotherapy delivered directly into the bladder to prevent recurrence of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
Will treatment affect my quality of life?
Our team prioritizes function preservation. We discuss all treatment options and their potential effects on urinary, sexual, and bowel function upfront.
