About
Mr Taimur Shah has been practicing medicine for over 15 years and is a consultant urologist and clinical senior lecturer at Imperial College London (ICL) where he is the prostate cancer Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) lead. His practice covers all urological conditions including treatments for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and he is an international expert in the investigation of prostate cancer using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and fusion transperineal prostate biopsies and its treatment using the newest minimally invasive techniques of focal therapy using high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) and cryotherapy.
He has published extensively in peer-reviewed journals within these fields and been invited to give lectures nationally and internationally. He is also an expert at Da Vinci Robotic Prostatectomy (surgery to remove the prostate).
Mr Shah qualified from University College London (UCL) where he was also awarded a First-Class Honours degree in molecular medicine. He completed his urological training in the London rotating through the Charing Cross Hospital, The Royal Marsden Hospital, Barnet and Chase Farm Hospitals and the Whittington Hospital. He subsequently undertook a uro-oncology fellowship in robotic surgery at Guys and St Thomas hospital.
He has a PhD from University College London (UCL) into focal therapy using high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) and cryotherapy for newly diagnosed prostate cancer and cancer that has recurred after previous radiotherapy. He has helped design and deliver multiple clinical trials for primary, metastatic and radio-recurrent prostate cancer and is currently part of the Imperial Prostate (IP) Group at Imperial College London (ICL).
