Douglas Scherr
Urologic oncology is a multidisciplinary field that incorporates innovative surgical technology, systemic treatments such as chemotherapy, as well as a focused research effort. As a Professor of Urology and the Clinical Director of Urologic Oncology, I continually interact with colleagues in the areas of medical oncology, radiation oncology, and pathology, among others, in order to provide the most comprehensive and innovative care for our patients with prostate, bladder, kidney and testicular cancer.
Bladder Cancer
Men are three to four times more likely than women to be diagnosed with bladder cancer. The most common type of bladder cancer is transitional cell carcinoma, comprising 90% of all bladder cancers. Transitional cell carcinomas are staged according to the depth of bladder wall invasion, which also has bearing on treatment options. Superficial transitional cell carcinomas are in the lining of the bladder and have not invaded the deeper bladder muscle wall, whereas muscle invasive cancers have penetrated this layer and are more likely to spread.
Brady Urologic Health Center
The Brady Urologic Health Center is located within an 8,000 square foot suite on the ninth floor of the Starr Pavilion at Weill Cornell Medicine/New York-Presbyterian Hospital and is composed of a close-knit team of physicians, working together to provide treatment for the broad spectrum of urologic conditions.
