February 2019 – the National Prostate Cancer Audit (NPCA) has published data on outcomes of surgery for prostate cancer. Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospital had one of the lowest rates for both readmission within 90 days and genitourinary complications of any hospitals performing prostate cancer surgery in England and Wales, and was also one of the highest performers for both sexual and urinary function after prostate cancer surgery.
This data, collected independently using validated and reliable tools, demonstrates the prostate cancer surgery performed by the five surgeons at Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospital is of the highest quality when compared to other units providing similar services.
