47 year old who presented with abdominal mass involving right ureter. Her left kidney did not work so I needed to preserve the right kidney. As a result we removed the mass and most of the right ureter. In order to save the kidney I used the appendix as a graft to serve as a conduit for her ureter. The mass was a sarcoma, she is now 3 months cancer free, her kidney works normally, and she’s back to work

51 year old local teacher who saw me last year with a suspicious right renal mass. I performed a partial removal of his right kidney robotically to include the tumor, preserving his kidney, and confirming an early kidney cancer. He saw me 6 months later with a rise in his PSA blood test, and he had a biopsy confirmed prostate cancer. I removed his prostate (also robotically). His PSA is zero, and he has full urinary and sexual function now 3 months after removal.
He is amongst the many patients I have treated who have had both kidney and prostate cancer. Genetic testing confirmed and underlying gene increasing his cancer risks.

68 year old gentlemen who presented with prostate cancer following a rise in his PSA. Although it was thought his cancer would be localized, ultimately it had already invaded outside of the prostate into the surrounding tissue. Despite this, he remains cancer free, and experiencing no urinary incontinence.
