Christof Kastner is an internationally-recognised consultant urologist based at the Nuffield Health Hospital, the GenesisCare Centre and Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge and at the Nuffield Health at St Bartholomew’s Hospital in London. He is affiliated Associate Professor at the University of Cambridge. He specialises in the assessment and treatment of benign and cancerous prostatic disease.

He is one of the pioneers of MRI Fusion technology in the UK. With Professor Barrett, one of the world leading MRI prostate radiologists from Cambridge, he offers a prostate cancer assessment pathway with the highest detection rate published in the literature whilst providing patient comfort and certainty. 

With his clinical and technical expertise, Mr Kastner has driven the development of MRI Fusion Vector prostate biopsies, which has minimal side effects and is easily sustained under local anaesthesia. This is a new minimally invasive diagnostic technique that uses electromagnetic needle tracking to aim at abnormal areas identified by the prostate MRI. The accuracy of this technique and the resulting certainty of his diagnosis enables Mr Kastner to counsel and inform his patients with confidence on all the treatment options available. Read about a case here.
