These include cancers of the prostate, bladder, kidneys, testis, penis, and adrenal glands. Comprising medical oncologists, surgical oncologists, radiation oncologists, and pathologists, our team offers the latest, most advanced treatments, including novel immunotherapies, targeted therapies, and personalized cancer therapy. The order in which you get your care can make a great difference in your cancer outcome.
So, our team works closely with other teams, including cancer genetic counselors and cancer nutritionists, to create the best plan for you.
Our team also conducts groundbreaking research to learn better ways to treat these cancers. Neda Hashemi discusses racial and ethnic health disparities in prostate cancer treatment in The Video Journal of Oncology. Androgen Deprivation Therapy ADT for prostate cancer is associated with a cluster of side effects that can cause metabolic syndrome development. Hashemi says that their study can open a lot of options for recommendations for better screening for MSRF across all groups.
Medical Oncologists treat some of the most complex cancers using chemotherapy, immunotherapy and targeted therapy, and manage clinical trials in these areas. At UNM Cancer Center, our urological surgical oncologists perform minimally-invasive robotic surgery for quickest and easiest recovery.
They also perform complex abdominal and pelvic surgeries. Radiation Oncologists offer stereotactic body radiation, stereotactic surgery, intensity modulated radiation therapy and permanent seed prostate brachytherapy.
