A team of UC Davis urologic oncologists has published new guidelines to help physicians improve the quality of life for patients with urogenital cancers. The guidelines appear in the October issue of the Journal of Urology. Christopher P. Evans, chair of the Department of Urology, is the senior author.

The guidelines include strategies for managing bone pain, pelvic pain, bladder and ureteral obstruction, spinal cord compression and other complications that can occur in patients with prostate, bladder and kidney cancer.
