Gurdip Azad is a Clinical Oncologist specialising only in Prostate Cancer with the latest treatments and radiotherapy techniques including MRL, SABR, VMAT. 

Gurdip Azad completed her training in Clinical Oncology in the North of London, rotating between Mount Vernon Cancer Centre, North Middlesex Hospital, Royal Free Hospital and University College London Hospital. She was appointed as a Consultant in Clinical Oncology at Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospital in 2019. She completed her MD (Res) at King’s College London and was appointed as an Honorary Senior Clinical Lecturer in 2020. Her main research interests are the role of molecular and functional imaging in primary and recurrent prostate cancers, the role of artificial intelligence in predicting prostate cancer recurrence, and many more. She specialises in CT based stereotactic radiotherapy and MR Linac based adaptive stereotactic radiotherapy to the prostate.
