Dedicated to urological health

Our rapid diagnostics team is dedicated to uncovering the cause of any symptoms and providing additional tests for those worried about prostate cancer.

Patients will see a consultant, go for imaging and tests, and have a diagnosis and treatment plan by the end of the day. Even with more complicated cases, like prostate cancer, you’ll still finish the day with a clear view of your next steps.

Concerned about prostate cancer?

More than 52,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer every year – that’s 144 men every day – making it one of the most common cancers in the UK. While the causes are largely unknown, there are certain risk factors including age, ethnicity, obesity, and family history.

Patients who are concerned about cancer often come to rapid diagnostics with a raised PSA level already detected by their GP. Our priority is then to determine whether these elevated levels indicate prostate cancer. We usually do this by examining you and testing your blood, followed by an MRI scan and biopsy. If prostate cancer is diagnosed early, your consultant may recommend active surveillance rather than immediate treatment. For more aggressive cancers, we offer treatments including External Beam Radiotherapy, Cryotherapy, Hormone Therapy, Chemotherapy, and Lutetium-177 PSMA Therapy. It’s important not to dismiss urological symptoms as part of getting older. If you notice difficulty or pain during urination, increased urinary frequency, or blood in your urine, it’s best to speak to an expert.

Weekly breast MDTs

Every week our urologists, radiologists and clinical nurses get together in a multi-disciplinary team meeting (MDT) to discuss imaging findings, the results of tests, and to decide the most coordinated responses for treatment.

Any patient cases that our team suspect may be related to cancer are fed through this group to allow for discussion and review.

By having these meetings weekly, as opposed to fortnightly, we can help our patients get started on their treatment sooner. Plus, this collaborative approach means you can feel safe and secure knowing every possible option is being discussed.

Advanced imaging technology

The London Clinic offers a state-of-the-art imaging department providing patients and referring doctors access to a comprehensive range of tests and investigations, catering for every individual need.

Breast tomosynthesis, also called three-dimensional (3-D) mammography and digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), is an advanced form of breast imaging, or mammography, that uses a low-dose x-ray system and computer reconstructions to create three-dimensional images of the breasts. Breast tomosynthesis aids in the early detection and diagnosis of breast disease.

Conducted by our experienced urology consultants in the clinic, the Bladder Scan is a specialised diagnostic procedure that employs ultrasound technology to assess the bladder’s volume and function. This non-invasive scan aids in identifying issues such as urinary retention or incomplete emptying, providing valuable information for our consultants to formulate targeted treatment plans.

Uroflowmetry, while not strictly an imaging procedure, is a crucial diagnostic tool available in our clinic rooms. This test measures the rate at which urine flows during voiding, offering insights into the functionality of the urinary system. Uroflowmetry helps our consultants evaluate conditions such as bladder outflow obstruction or urinary flow irregularities. The convenience of in-clinic availability ensures timely assessments and prompt interventions.

Our advanced ultrasound imaging, conducted by experienced radiologists, encompasses a range of examinations. The Ultrasound Urinary Tract offers detailed insights into the health of kidneys, ureters, and the bladder. For prostate evaluations, our Trans-Rectal Ultrasound provides precise imaging. Additionally, our Ultrasound Testes examination, performed by skilled radiologists, ensures thorough assessment. These ultrasound procedures exemplify our commitment to delivering comprehensive diagnostic services, and building on our understanding of urological well-being.
