At Mays Cancer Center, home to UT Health San Antonio MD Anderson Cancer Center, our team pioneered the use of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) decades ago.
Today, our experts use IMRT to treat certain cancers, such as prostate and lung cancers, with incredible precision. IMRT’s increased effectiveness — with fewer side effects — offers new possibilities for what you can do during and after cancer treatment.

Bladder cancer treatment often includes surgery to remove a cancerous tumor. At Mays Cancer Center, home to UT Health San Antonio MD Anderson Cancer Center, our team regularly performs these complex procedures. Some bladder surgery affects your body’s ability to urinate. Our surgeons perform reconstructive procedures to restore function. Many patients can urinate on their own after surgery, even without a bladder.
