Mission:

The DMG aims to provide optimum and multi disciplinary care of
urological cancers based on maximum adherence to evidence based medicine protocols.

Service Information:

The cancers treated under this disease management group are – Prostate cancer, Testicular cancer, kidney cancer, Urinary bladder cancer, Penile cancer & adrenal tumors. The patients are appropriately evaluated for the disease and once staging is complete, treatment options are discussed. The best possible treatment decision is then made.

For evaluation we have a NABL accredited laboratory which does almost all investigations including tumor markers, cytology and microbiology. We have advanced Uro-onco pathology services with several immune-histochemistry and molecular markers being assessed with multiple techniques. We make use of appropriate CT scan, MRI scan and PET scans – FDG PET scan and PSMA PET scan [for prostate cancer] as applicable in evaluation. All these facilities are provided at Tata Memorial Hospital.

We do provide open and minimally invasive – laparoscopic and robotic surgical procedures to patients at a very affordable cost. Wherever possible, we try doing organ preserving surgeries – for eg. partial nephrectomy, penile preserving surgeries, The DMG also offers state of art radiation therapy – stereotactic hypofractionated and Image guided for prostate cancer, Urinary bladder cancers and testicular seminomatous cancers. Bladder preservation protocols for urinary bladder cancers are offered in selected patients. Medical oncology services offer chemotherapy and molecular therapy to cases of advanced cancer.


Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) has been introduced for prostate
cancer which significantly reduces treatment time to 5-7 days from 5-7 weeks, with minimal toxicity, greatly improves convenience on patients and reduces burden on therapy machines.

 

OPD Timings

General OPD - Tues / Thurs
Timing - 09:15 – 17:30 Hours
Location - Golden Jubilee Building , Ground Floor Room No. 57

Private OPD - Tues / Thurs
Timing - 09:15 – 17:30 Hours
Location - Homi Bhabha Building , Room No. 214.

The trainees are MBBS/ MD/MS qualified doctors who are admitted to various course specialties like Surgical Oncology, Medical Oncology, Radiation Oncology, Pathology, Nuclear Medicine, Radio diagnosis on the basis of their marks obtained in the Maharashtra state CET/NEET examination.

Observers: Medical students from other universities and institutions are accepted as observers in different departments of the Uro-oncology DMG. They use this opportunity to get familiar to working of a multi-disciplinary Uro-oncology team. Due to the high volume of patients coming to the hospital, it helps in learning the various aspects of Urological cancers including clinical presentations, evaluation, staging and management.

The faculty also participates in Onco nursing training program, Stoma clinic workshops and hospital infection related workshops.

Programs conducted:

Continuing Medical Education (CME) Programme for Post-graduate students and practicing doctors: Uro-oncology DMG has been conducting an Annual CME since 2012. Large number of doctors take advantage of this meeting to update themselves in Urooncology topics. Few of the themes, which we had were -

Year Theme
2012 Testicular tumors
2013 Bladder Cancers
2014 Nuclear Imaging in Urology
2015 Prostate Cancer Masterclass
2016 Renal cell carcinoma
2017 Penile and Urethral Cancer, an update
