University of Wisconsin Prostate and Genitourinary Cancer Program

The goal of the University of Wisconsin Prostate and Genitourinary Cancer Program (UWPGCP) is to provide innovative and effective treatment for patients with genitourinary cancer.

Our group is part of the University of Wisconsin Comprehensive Cancer Center, the only cancer center in Wisconsin recognized and funded by the National Cancer Institute for its research and expertise in dealing with cancer. We utilize a mulit-modality approach to treating cancer. We offer multiple options (surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy) combined with the latest research developments to target the cancer as precisely and effectively as possible.

We provide additional support, including nutrition and psychological help, for patients fighting cancer. Our fellowship-trained, nationally recognized cancer experts are willing to provide opinions and manage complex and difficult GU cancer in a timely and efficient manner.
