What we care for
Kidney cancer
Most people are born with two kidneys. They’re very important to our health. Healthy kidneys work around the clock to clean your blood. Every day, about 150 quarts of blood pass through them. They remove waste and extra water from your blood and make urine. Then they send the urine to your bladder to hold until you’re ready to pee.

Prostate cancer
The prostate is part of the male reproductive system. It’s about the size of a walnut and weighs about one ounce. The prostate helps make fluid to protect and nourish sperm.

Bladder cancer
The bladder is a balloon-shaped organ in your pelvis. It has a wall of muscle around it. This wall of muscle lets the bladder get larger or smaller to store urine (pee).

Testicular cancer
The testicles are two small egg-shaped glands in the scrotum below the penis. This is where sperm matures. The testicles also make male hormones, like testosterone.
Testicular cancer can affect a man or boy at any age. But it’s most likely to happen between the ages of 15 to 44.

Penile cancer
Cancer of the penis is found on the foreskin or top of the penis. It tends to grow slowly.
Many men ignore it until it’s far along because they’re often reluctant or embarrassed to talk about it. They may also be afraid of surgery on the penis. However, if it’s caught early, it can often be cared for successfully.
