Pelvic Cancer refers to cancer that arises in any of the organs located within the pelvic region, which can include the bladder, prostate, ovaries, uterus, rectum, or other tissues. Pelvic cancers vary widely in type, symptoms, and treatment options, depending on the organ involved. Symptoms may include pain in the pelvic area, changes in urinary or bowel habits, or unexplained weight loss.
At Dr. Atul Singal's Comprehensive Care Clinic, Dr. Atul Singal, Senior Consultant Urologist and Uro-oncologist, offers specialized, individualized care for patients with pelvic cancers, using the latest in diagnostic imaging, minimally invasive techniques, and tailored treatment options for the best possible outcomes.
Symptoms of pelvic cancer can vary based on the specific organ affected but may include pelvic pain or pressure, unusual bleeding, changes in urinary or bowel habits, unexplained weight loss, or fatigue. Persistent or worsening symptoms should be evaluated promptly, as early detection can improve treatment outcomes. Dr. Singal is highly experienced in assessing these symptoms and providing timely diagnoses.
Diagnosis may include physical exams, imaging tests (such as CT scans, MRIs, or ultrasounds), and laboratory tests. Additionally, biopsies are often used to confirm the presence of cancer and determine the exact type and stage. Dr. Singal employs a comprehensive diagnostic approach to ensure accuracy, enabling precise and effective treatment planning.
Treatment options for pelvic cancer depend on the cancer type and stage and may involve surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or a combination of these. Minimally invasive surgical techniques are often preferred to reduce recovery time. Dr. Singal works with each patient to develop a tailored treatment plan, prioritizing the best possible outcome with a focus on maintaining quality of life.
