At City of Hope® Cancer Center Atlanta, patients have access to advanced, personalized care for genitourinary (GU) cancers — including prostate, bladder, kidney and testicular cancers — close to home. Our urologic oncologists, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists and supportive care specialists work together to review every treatment option and create a plan tailored to your diagnosis, goals and quality of life. From early detection through survivorship, we’re here to help you move forward with speed and confidence.
Our Genitourinary Cancer Center is helping meet the urgent need for better prostate cancer care in metro Atlanta, Georgia and across the Southeast, where prostate cancer rates rank among the highest in the country. Black men face the greatest burden, with earlier onset, more aggressive disease and a significantly higher risk of death — making early screening, awareness and equitable access to care especially important.
