Other than skin cancer, prostate cancer is the most common cancer in American men
Early prostate cancer generally has no symptoms. That’s why discussing with your doctor when to begin and how often to have a digital rectal exam and a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test is so important. By the time symptoms are noticeable, like blood in the urine, pain, problems passing urine or even loss of bladder or bowel control, the cancer is in an advanced stage making treatment outcomes less doubtful.

Prostate cancer is cancer that occurs in the prostate, a small walnut-shaped gland that is part of a man's reproductive system. The gland wraps around the urethra, the tube that carries urine out of the body.
In some cases of bladder cancer, removing the bladder, called a cystectomy, is necessary
Our goal is to see our patients overcome their bladder cancer and go on to lead healthy, active lives. In some cases of bladder cancer, it is necessary to remove part, or all of the bladder. Our surgical team has expertise in robotic cystectomy and neobladders for bladder cancer. The advantage of using robotic surgery for cystectomy is it decreases blood loss, the need for blood transfusion and leads to a quicker recovery.
Comprehensive Bladder Cancer Diagnostic Evaluations and Testing
Effectively treating bladder cancer requires a thorough diagnostic evaluation, with the precise location of all tumors. The University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center offers the most advanced diagnostic tests and imaging services to help our multidisciplinary care teams design the most effective treatment course for each patient.

Inflammatory breast cancer is a rare and aggressive form of breast cancer. It’s called “inflammatory” because the cancer cells block lymph vessels in the skin. This causes the breast to look swollen and red, or inflamed.
In most cases of inflammatory cancer, the type of cancer cells blocking the lymph vessels are invasive ductal carcinomas. This means they developed from the cells lining the milk ducts of the breast and then spread beyond the ducts.
Inflammatory breast cancer spreads quickly, often in a matter of weeks or months.
