What Is Uro-Oncology?
Uro-Oncology specialist in Pimpri Chinchwad Dr Anand Dharaskar during the last 40 years, Uro-oncology as a subspecialty has slowly and steadily evolved and a lot of urologists are getting interested in this super specialty. At the same time, uro-oncology remains affiliated to Urology – the parent specialty. In the early 1970s, Urology was a part of General Surgery and many general surgeons tackled urological and uro-oncological patients as per concepts of treatment that prevailed then. Urology as a separate specialty also evolved slowly and initially it started as a subsection of ASI around 1960. When Urological Society of India was initiated from the year 1991, there were less than 200 members but with increasing interest in Urology over the years, the number of members practicing solely Urology has increased approximately to 2000 in the year 2010.
