About
Stephen Langley is Professor and Clinical Director of Urology at the Royal Surrey County Hospital in Guildford.
He is an acknowledged international expert in prostate cancer and prostate conditions. He regularly provides expert second opinions for men with prostate cancer referred from other consultants.
He invented the technique of template prostate biopsy in 2003 for cancer detection, which minimises the risk of infection and maximises the detection rate. This technique is now considered the gold standard worldwide. This coupled with the latest MRI evaluation is the optimal way to assess men with possible prostate cancer.
He undertakes both prostate brachytherapy and robotic radical prostatectomy for the treatment of prostate cancer. He has written a series of patient information booklets on urological conditions which can be downloaded from his website. He has also produced numerous recent academic peer reviewed papers reporting his research in prostate cancer and prostate diseases. His opinions are frequently sought and published in the national press.
