Urological cancer
Urological cancers are types of cancers that affect the urinary tract, including the bladder, kidneys, penis, testicles and prostate.
Types of urological cancer
Bladder cancer
Bladder cancer is where a growth of abnormal tissue (a tumour) develops in the bladder lining. In some cases the tumour spreads to the surrounding muscles.
Kidney cancer
Kidney cancer, also known as renal cancer, is one of the most common types of cancer in the UK. It mostly affects older adults and men more than women.
Prostate cancer
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the UK. It starts in a gland in the male reproductive system and can be asymptomatic for a long time.
Testicular cancer
Testicular cancers are also called germ cell tumours. Germ cells produce sperm in men, and these tumours usually develop in the testicles.
Urological cancer tests & scans
Prostate screening
A prostate screen involves a series of diagnostic tests, scans and assessments designed to detect signs of prostate cancer.
Transrectal or transperineal prostate biopsy
ULTRASOUND-GUIDED PROSTATE BIOPSIES A prostate biopsy involves taking tissue from the prostate and checking it for cancer
Multi-Parametric (mpMRI) Prostate Scan
An MRI scan that helps diagnose prostate cancer, it can also be used as part of prostate cancer screening.
Urological cancer treatments
Cryotherapy for prostate cancer
If you've been diagnosed with prostate cancer, cryotherapy is an effective alternative option to radiation and surgery.
Transurethral incision of the prostate (TUIP)
A surgical procedure to treat men with an enlarged prostate
Transurethral resection of the prostate TURP
A TURP is a procedure to treat patients with an enlarged, benign prostate.
Prostate artery embolisation
A specialist, minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure to treat an enlarged prostate by shrinking it.
Medications for bph
MEDICAL MANAGEMENT FOR BENIGN PROSTATIC HYPERPLASIA (A NON-CANCEROUS ENLARGED PROSTATE)
Our drug therapy options can help you manage an enlarged prostate and possibly avoid or delay surgery
GreenLight Laser Prostatectomy
Also called photo-selective vaporisation of the prostate (PVP). A GreenLight laser prostatectomy is a minimally invasive alternative to surgery to remove a benign growth in the prostate.
Robotic Prostatectomy in the UK
Robot-assisted surgery to remove the prostate. A prostatectomy using the da Vinci© surgical robot is a minimally invasive procedure often used to treat prostate cancer.
Lutetium psma therapy
PROSTATE-SPECIFIC MEMBRANE ANTIGEN THERAPY USING LUTETIUM-177 (LU-177)
PSMA therapy may be a useful treatment option for you if you have prostate cancer that is no longer controlled by other standard treatments
Aquablation therapy
Heat-free treatment for an enlarged prostate.
NanoKnife focal therapy
A gentler approach to prostate cancer treatment
Holmium laser treatment
HOLMIUM LASER ENUCLEATION OF THE PROSTATE
Holmium laser treatment, or HoLEP, is a minimally invasive procedure for benign (non-cancerous) prostate enlargement
Water vapour therapy
UROLOGICAL PROCEDURE FOR BENIGN PROSTATIC HYPERPLASIA (ENLARGED PROSTATE)
Steam treatment for treating non-cancerous enlarged prostates, with fewer side-effects compared to other traditional procedures
Prostatic urethral lift implant (Urolift)
Prostatic urethral lift implant, also known as a Urolift, is a surgical procedure to treat a non-cancerous enlarged prostate, and it has fewer side-effects than other similar procedures.
Bladder augmentation
Robotic-assisted bladder augmentation surgery is used to treat severe incontinence or a severe overactive bladder. It involves taking a section of bowel to make the bladder larger and increasing its capacity to reduce the need to urinate.
Bladder instillations
If you're experiencing severe bladder pain, we provide a treatment of liquid medication to relieve your symptoms.
Injections for an overactive bladder
Minimally invasive treatment for incontinence and urgency. Injections of muscle relaxant into the bladder can help to alleviate the symptoms of overactive bladder syndrome.
Transurethral resection of bladder tumour
TURBT URETERORENOSCOPY
Using fibre-optic technology, this surgical procedure can help to discover the presence of bladder cancer
Radical cystectomy
The surgical removal of a cancerous bladder.
Robotic cystectomy
ROBOT-ASSISTED BLADDER CANCER SURGERY
Surgery to remove a cancerous bladder
Cystoplasty
A surgical procedure to enlarge or partially or completely replace your bladder if it is not functioning normally
Suprapubic catheter
A TYPE OF URETHRA CATHETER A
suprapubic catheter is a thin tube used to drain urine from the bladder
Ureteric stent
A plastic tube that is inserted into your ureters, which are the tubes that carry urine from your kidney to your bladder
Neobladder formation during surgery
FORMATION OF A NEW BLADDER, USING YOUR COLON. ALSO KNOW AS NEOBLADDER CONSTRUCTION
Neobladder formation is a type of urinary diversion

Patient stories
Georgia's story
At just 20 years old, Georgia was about to fulfil her dream of opening her own beauty salon when persistent symptoms led to an unexpected diagnosis of bowel cancer.
Hallie's story
When six-year-old Hallie was admitted to The Portland Hospital in July, her parents were facing an anxious wait. What began as abdominal pain led to a query of appendicitis and, following surgery, concerns around possible sepsis.
Mark's story
For years, left leg pain had been an irritating thing in Mark’s life. “I had a dull, constant ache behind my knee and in my calf when I was standing, especially towards the end of the day when I had been up and about a lot.”
