Why are Urodynamic Tests Important for Cancer Patients?
Patients diagnosed with cancer, particularly those with cancers affecting the pelvic region such as bladder cancer, prostate cancer, or gynecologic cancers, may experience urinary symptoms as a result of the disease itself or as a side effect of treatments like surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy. Urodynamic tests help in understanding the underlying causes of these symptoms, which can include incontinence, urinary retention, and frequent urination.
