Urological Cancer Services at UCLH
We are a specialist centre for treating urological cancers. These are cancers that affect:
- The urinary system, such as the bladder and kidneys.
- The male genital organs, such as the prostate, penis and testicles.
Our main urological cancer services are based at University College Hospital at Westmoreland Street, where we provide expert medical and nursing care. Some treatments may also take place at other UCLH locations.
- We offer advanced treatment for prostate and bladder cancer
- We are one of only 12 penile cancer centres in the UK
- We specialise in surgery for testicular cancer
We also run many clinical trials that explore new and advanced treatment options. If you meet the criteria for a trial, your doctor may invite you to take part and will explain the details.
If UCLH is not your local hospital, you may have some care closer to home. For certain treatments like surgery or specialist radiotherapy, you might be referred to us here at UCLH.
We work closely with local hospitals, GPs, and other services to make sure your care is smooth and well-coordinated.
- If you have kidney cancer, you will have your treatment at The Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust, and your follow-up care at UCLH
- If you have testicular cancer, your surgery will be at UCLH, but follow-up care or additional treatment will take place at St Bartholomew’s Hospital (part of Barts Health NHS Trust)
