RU Rapid UrologyToronto · Prostate, kidney and hematuria assessment

Prompt prostate cancer diagnosis in Toronto

Rapid urology assessment run with the Division of Urology at St. Joseph's Health Centre, Unity Health Toronto. For elevated PSA, kidney masses and hematuria. Refer by fax with your usual letter.

2 weeksOur aim: booked within 2 weeks of referral

We aim to book every referral with a urologist within 2 weeks, with biopsy shortly after when it is needed. Every referral is handled as urgent; there's no need to mark it.

Opened October 2026. We will publish our measured times once we have a full quarter of data.

Diagnosis

Transperineal prostate biopsy

Under local anaesthetic, through the skin of the perineum rather than through the rectum.

Treatment

Robotic-assisted surgery

Robotic surgery when surgery is the right option, reviewed alongside active surveillance and radiation, with the same team from biopsy to plan.
