Genitourinary Cancer
Genitourinary cancers affect the urinary tract, such as the kidneys and bladder, as well as the male genital tract, such as the prostate and testicles. Pain in the lower back and blood in the urine are some common symptoms.

Bladder Cancer
The bladder is located in your lower abdomen and stores urine. Bladder cancer usually starts in the cells lining the inside of the bladder and grows towards the outer walls.

Kidney Cancer
Your kidneys are two fist-sized, bean-shaped organs located in the back of your torso, just above your waist. Your kidneys are responsible for filtering waste and excess water from your blood and turning it into urine. Over 90% of kidney cancers are renal cell carcinomas (RCC), which form in the lining of the tubules (tiny tubes that filter your blood and produce urine).

Penile Cancer
Penile cancer is a rare malignancy that accounts for less than 1% of all cancers in men in the United States and Europe; however, it is more common in developing countries. Penile cancer starts in the penis, which is an external organ in the male urinary and reproductive systems that passes urine and semen out of the body.

Prostate Cancer
The prostate is a gland in the male reproductive system that makes some of the seminal fluid that nourishes sperm and carries semen out of the body. The prostate is located below the bladder and in front of the rectum. It surrounds the urethra, or the tube that carries urine out of your body.

Testicular Cancer
Testicular cancer is a cancer that forms in the testicles, the male reproductive organs. The testicles are two small glands in the scrotum (the sac under the penis) that produce sperm and the male hormone testosterone. Testicular cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in younger men between the ages of 20 and 34.
