Urology

We have one of the largest experiences with prostate cancer in the southern hemisphere, backed by comprehensive and evidence-based research. We’ve been both a national and international leader in the initiation and research of therapies such as:

• nerve-sparing surgery
• robotic surgery
• transperineal biopsy techniques
• brachytherapy
• imaging with MRI and PET/CT scans
• IMRT radiotherapy techniques for targeted treatment  

To back this up, we also have the largest tissue bank and data bank in the southern hemisphere.

Our research is conducted through the Garvan Institute and Kinghorn Cancer Centre.

We also offer a support group.
