New state-of-the-art-biopsy treatment
We are now able to offer patients access to a new, state-of-the-art, minimally invasive technique of targeted prostate treatment. The new technology combines MRI scans with ultrasound to pinpoint and investigate the smallest areas of concern.
The prostate gland is notoriously difficult to access and to assess accurately, this technology represents a revolution in improving diagnosis, large scale reductions in unnecessary treatment and the associated side effects, and results in improved survival rates.
We pride ourselves on providing tailored care in a welcoming and relaxed hospital environment. Whatever prostate treatment you need, you’ll see the same consultant throughout your treatment journey.
See how patients like Tom have benefitted
from Nuffield Health's Prostate Cancer services.
Father of two, Tom, has always been concerned about being diagnosed with prostate cancer. His grandfather and father had both been diagnosed with the disease, his father at just 50 years of age.
Tom was signed up to Nuffield Health's services via his employer and used his employee benefit to have a health check. In
being diagnosed, he was referred to specialists, treated for his illness, and
recovered thanks to Nuffield Health and the support of his family.
