国家癌症研究所泌尿肿瘤学分支的研究人员是整个国家卫生研究院的泌尿外科医生和普通泌尿外科顾问。在这个角色中，我们为所有儿科和成人泌尿外科问题的患者提供咨询。泌尿肿瘤科分支负责所有急诊和择期泌尿外科会诊，并为临床中心医院可能出现的泌尿外科急诊提供24小时服务。艾滋病患者的外科手术正在增加。泌尿肿瘤学分支还合作采购其他研究单位所需的组织。泌尿肿瘤分支参与这些研究的计划和执行的程度各不相同。泌尿肿瘤学分支通常在这些研究的设计中发挥重要作用，而在其他合作中，泌尿外科服务仅提供组织。泌尿肿瘤分支约30%的临床外科工作致力于这些咨询和合作研究。

Investigators in the Urologic Oncology Branch of the National Cancer Institute are the urologic surgeons and general urology consultants to the entire National Institutes of Health. In this role we see patients in consultation for all pediatric and adult urologic surgical problems. The Urologic Oncology Branch answers all emergency, as well as elective urologic surgical consultations and provides 24 hour coverage for urologic surgical emergencies that may arise in the Clinical Center Hospital. Increasing surgery in AIDS patients is being performed. The Urologic Oncology Branch also collaborates in the procurement of tissue for studies required by other investigative units. The degree of involvement of the Urologic Oncology Branch in the planning and execution of these studies is variable. The Urologic Oncology Branch often plays an instrumental role in the design of these studies while in other collaborations, the Urologic Surgical Service merely provides tissue. Approximately 30% of the clinical surgical effort of the Urologic Oncology Branch is devoted to these consultative and collaborative studies.
