THE TEAM
EXPERTS IN THEIR FIELD
At T D Urology we work closely with a multidisciplinary team including radiologists, pathologists and oncologists to deliver a comprehensive treatment approach for patients with urological conditions.
Mr Dudderidge collaborates with expert radiologists to ensure the diagnostic tests are reported by trusted experts, quickly and accurately to provide the information needed for him to make a treatment plan as soon as possible. The team use advanced diagnostic imaging techniques such as multiparametric MRI, CT, PSMA PET-CT, and ultrasound scans to help identify and assess conditions like prostate cancer, prostate enlargement, kidney stones and other cancers including renal masses and bladder tumours.
If test results or scans show cancer is present, oncologists play a vital role providing expertise in radiotherapy, hormonal therapy chemotherapy, and immunotherapy. Working closely with Mr Dudderidge with this integrated treatment approach ensures that patients receive personalised cancer care with the best possible outcomes.
By working with experts and combining the skills in the team means patients of T D Urology receive seamless, evidence-based care and improved recovery times.
