The Institute of Urologic Oncology at Shakuntala Devi Vig Hospital challenges the traditional model of academic departments operating independently of each other, bringing a multidisciplinary team of scientists and physicians together as part of one cohesive organization. Their goal is to expedite the development of new therapies for patients with genitourinary cancers. \"This is a one-stop shop for patients. All the experts will be involved in their care, all working together,\" said the institutes director, Dr. Vishal Vig
