Medical Oncology is a discipline
that normally focuses on
advanced cancer.
The
Grampsas Urologic Oncology
Clinic has a dedicated team
of Urologic oncologists. The
group is comprised of
Al Barqawi, MD,
David Crawford, MD,
Paul Maroni, MD,
and
Shandra Wilson, MD.
Each is subspecialty trained and
each is a leader in his/her
field. Dr. Barqawi focuses on
mapping biopsies for prostate
cancer and innovative therapies
and imaging.
Dr. Crawford,
the prior president of SWOG has
written over 200 manuscripts
published in peer review
journals. He focuses on targeted
therapy, cryotherapy and surgery
for prostate cancer.
Dr. Maroni is the head of
robotics and has a special
interest in testicular cancer
but is also very involved in
minimally invasive surgery for
kidney and prostate cancer.
Dr. Wilson is the fellowship
director and treats 70% of all
curable invasive bladder cancer
in the state. She is also very
involved in minimally invasive
kidney and prostate surgery as
well.
The urologic oncology research
works to obtain access to a
variety of clinical trials for
our patients -- approximately
100 urologic oncology patients
enroll in research protocols
each year through our clinic.
Recent clinical trials in
prostate cancer have included
investigations of new treatments
for recurrent superficial
bladder cancer, improved bowel
motility studies after surgery,
drugs to improve potency after
surgery, and better markers,
imaging, and treatment for
localized prostate cancer. Come
