Fox Chase Cancer Center is a national leader in the movement toward better survivorship care. We understand that survivors of urethral cancer face unique, ongoing challenges, and we offer a number of programs and services to help them cope with the impact of cancer, including a dedicated clinic for urethral cancer survivors.
Patient and Family Support
We understand that cancer care can affect the whole family. We offer an array of support services for patients and their families. This includes individualized care to manage the symptoms and side effects of cancer treatment, as well as case management, social work services, support groups and access to the Fox Chase Resource and Education Center.

Pain Management
If cancer treatment causes pain that affects your recovery, rehabilitation or quality of life, pain specialists at the Fox Chase Pain and Palliative Care Program can provide strategies and support to safely and effectively relieve your pain and discomfort.
Integrative Care
To support a holistic approach to healing and wellness, the Fox Chase Integrative Care Program offers evidence-based techniques and therapies that promote healing of the body and mind. These include yoga classes, Reiki sessions, music therapy and stress management. These healing practices have been shown to help relieve the symptoms and side effects of cancer treatment; ease pain, fatigue and anxiety; and improve mood. Learn more.
Follow-up Surveillance
Because a diagnosis of urethral cancer puts you at greater risk of developing other cancers, your doctors will want to follow you closely to check for any signs of recurrence. Your schedule of follow-up screenings will depend on the type, grade and stage of your urethral cancer. It is important to stay up to date with these appointments. Learn more.
