He specialises in bladder cancer, prostate cancer diagnosis using MRI, and benign urology including prostate enlargement, kidney stones, UTIs and incontinence.
Does Mr Ali treat bladder cancer?
Yes. He leads the bladder cancer service at Frimley Park Hospital and uses advanced techniques including en-bloc tumour resection, narrowband imaging and blue-light cystoscopy.
What is blue-light cystoscopy?
It is a type of bladder examination that uses a special light and dye to highlight tumours that may be hard to see under normal light. It helps surgeons find and remove bladder cancer more completely.
What is MRI-based prostate cancer diagnosis?
It uses an MRI scan to find suspicious areas in the prostate before a biopsy, so the biopsy can be targeted more accurately. Mr Ali trained in this approach at Addenbrooke’s Hospital.
Does Mr Ali treat overactive bladder?
Yes. He treats functional bladder disorders and is Chief Investigator on an NIHR-funded trial of biomarkers in overactive bladder syndrome.
