Prostate cancer
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the United States, and many men are diagnosed while the cancer is still inside the prostate. Some of these cancers grow so slowly that they never need treatment, while others call for surgery, radiation or drug therapy. This page explains what the major guidelines recommend at each stage, and says plainly where they disagree.

Bladder cancer
Most bladder cancers are found early, while they still sit on the inner lining of the bladder, but they tend to come back, so care is a long partnership of treatment and checkups. This page explains what the American Urological Association, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network and the European Association of Urology recommend at each stage, in words meant for patients and families. It is educational and does not replace a conversation with your own care team.

Kidney cancer
Most kidney tumors today are found by chance on a scan done for another reason, and many of them are small. This page explains how the American Urological Association (AUA), the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) and the European Association of Urology (EAU) approach a kidney mass, from careful watching to surgery, ablation and modern drug treatment. It is educational and does not replace a conversation with your own care team.

Penile cancer
Penile cancer is rare, and many men wait months before showing a doctor a sore or lump because of embarrassment. Found early, it can often be treated while keeping as much of the penis as possible. This guide explains, in plain language, what the EAU-ASCO and NCCN guidelines recommend at each stage.

Why read this here
Better than a search engine or a chatbot. Here is why.
Searching the web for a cancer diagnosis returns a mix of advertising, outdated pages, forums and headlines, with no way to tell which is current or which applies to you. A chatbot answers fluently but cannot show you where a claim came from, may blend guidance from different countries and years, and will sometimes state things that are simply not in any guideline. These pages take a different approach.
Written from the guidelines themselves
Every page is built from the current AUA, NCCN and EAU clinical practice guidelines, the same documents urologic oncologists are trained on and audited against. Each is named, versioned and linked at the bottom of the page.
Every recommendation is attributed
Where the page says what the guidelines recommend, the boxed statement names the guideline. You can see exactly which society said it, in which year, and read the original.
Reviewed by a urologic oncologist
The content was reviewed by Dr. Archan Khandekar, a fellowship-trained urologic oncologist at the University of Miami, for accuracy and for the realities of how care is delivered.
Shows disagreement instead of hiding it
Guidelines do not always agree, and some questions have no single right answer. The pages say so, because knowing where the judgment calls are is what lets you ask the right questions.
No advertising, no products, no agenda
Nothing on these pages is sponsored. There are no supplements to sell, no clinics to rank and no clicks to chase.
In English and Spanish, with the same depth
Both versions are complete, not a summary in one language and a full page in the other.
What this is not: a substitute for your own care team. Guidelines describe what is reasonable for groups of patients; your situation has details no page can know. Use these guides to understand the landscape and to prepare your questions, then decide with your doctors.
