Naturally I want to know who is best at the surgery to "remove" the cancer, but I would also like to know who can perform the surgery with the best outcome, ie least risk of impotence, incontinence, etc. Hopefully it's the same surgeon(s)!

There are so many great doctors here and so many great cancer centers here. I have no idea where you are from but the United States is a very large place. It would be impossible to answer this question in a manner that would cover the entire United States. If I were you, I would contact the American Cancer Society and ask them if they can recommend someone. I know that there are specialist all over the place and some are much better than others. For instance I live in Florida and have traveled to Atlanta for 16 of my operations but mine were for Colon Rectal cancer and the side effects and all of the other problems that developed.
Contact the American Cancer Society and ask and if they can't help, then contact the Mayo Clinic. There are just so many places you can go.
Good Luck and God Bless You.

James Brooks of Stanford University Hospital is a great surgeon call his office and if he is too far away from where you live get a referral from him
