When cancer strikes the urinary or male reproductive system, it is not just about getting treatment—it is also about getting the right treatment from the right expert. That’s where an uro oncologist comes in. I’m Dr. Smaranjit Chatterjee, a Kolkata-based uro-oncology consultant dedicated to helping patients with cancers of the bladder, kidney, prostate, and testicles. With years of experience and access to modern surgical techniques, including robotic and minimally invasive approaches, I provide care that’s both comprehensive and compassionate. 

What Does an Uro Oncologist Do? 

An uro oncologist is a urologist with specialized training in treating cancers of the urinary tract and male reproductive organs. This includes: 

• Prostate Cancer 

• Kidney Cancer 

• Bladder Cancer 

• Testicular Cancer 

• Penile Cancer 

While general oncologists may treat a wide range of cancers, an uro oncologist offers focused, expert-driven care for urological malignancies—often resulting in better outcomes, fewer complications, and faster recovery. 

Early Diagnosis Makes All the Difference 

Cancer is most treatable in its early stages. As an uro-oncology specialist, I use cutting-edge diagnostic tools like cystoscopy, imaging scans, biopsies, and tumor markers to detect cancer as early and accurately as possible. From there, I guide my patients with clarity, ensuring they understand their condition, stage, and available treatment options. 

Precision Treatment Tailored to You 

Treatment for urological cancer varies widely based on the type, location, and stage of the disease. At my practice, patients benefit from: 

• Robotic Surgery: Advanced precision with minimal scarring and quicker recovery. 

• Nephrectomy or Kidney-Sparing Surgery: Depending on tumor size. 

• Radical Cystectomy or TURBT: For bladder cancer. 

• Prostatectomy: For localized prostate tumors. 

• Chemotherapy & Immunotherapy: When non-surgical options are needed. 

Each plan is personalized, factoring in the patient’s overall health, cancer progression, and quality-of-life considerations. 

More Than Treatment: Total Support 

My role does not end in the operation theatre. Cancer care is a journey, and I walk every step of it with my patients—from diagnosis to recovery and beyond. Working alongside dietitians, oncologists, pain management experts, and psychologists, I ensure holistic healing, not just physical but emotional too. 

When Should You See an Uro Oncologist? 

You should consult an uro oncologist if you: 

• Have been diagnosed with a urological cancer 

• Notice blood in urine or changes in urination 

• Experience pain in the lower abdomen or testicles 

• Have a family history of kidney, prostate, or bladder cancer
