He completed 2 years of research into the molecular biology of bladder cancer with Cancer Research UK in Oxford in 2002 and was rewarded with a Doctorate of Medicine for his thesis.In 2007 he was awarded the Keith Yeates Gold Medal by the Royal College of Surgeons for his outstanding performance in the FRCS (Urol) examination and completed his training with visits to the USA and Egypt for further study.

He has served as Lead Clinician and Cancer Lead for several years over this time. Edward is currently the highest volume per annum prostate cancer surgeon in Kent and his achievements have included introducing Robotic Cystectomy, and pioneering minimally invasive prostate surgery in East Kent with Urolift and Rezum treatments, and more recently, Nanoknife focal therapy for prostate cancer. He has also developed new electronic patient tracking systems for both prostate and bladder cancer, greatly streamlining care for these people. Edward is married with children and enjoys running, cycling, skiing, music and surfing.
FOCAL THERAPY FOR PROSTATE CANCER
Nanoknife - a minimally invasive treatment for prostate cancer has been introduced by Mr Streeter at Kent and Canterbury Hospital, aiming to reduce the side effects of early prostate cancer treatment. By targeting just the part of the prostate affected by cancer, the treatment can aim to prevent other commonly occuring side effects such as erection problems, incontinence or bowel issues, sometimes associated with surgery or radiotherapy techniques.
Mr Streeter is the local principal investigator of a multicentre UK trial (PART Study), looking at the role of partial gland / focal therapy vs traditional radical treatment options.
SPECIALIST UROLOGICAL CARE
ROBOTIC SURGERY:PROSTATE AND BLADDER CANCER SPECIALIST
Having performed over 1500 major cancer procedures, Mr Streeter has extensive experience of minimally invasive prostate and bladder surgery. He will discuss optimising results on an individual basis if you need surgery, and how to achieve good outcomes if you want to consider alternatives.
MINIMALLY INVASIVE MANAGEMENT OF PROSTATE SYMPTOMS
Prior to a dedicated one stop prostate assessment clinic you will be advised on lifestyle measures to take and preparation for the appointment, so that a full management plan for your symptoms can be drawn up. Local anaesthetic bladder examination (cystoscopy) can be arranged at the same visit if required, and options for treatment including Urolift and Rezum steam treatment can be discussed. These carry less side effects than more invasive surgery and can often be performed under local anaesthetic.
GENERAL UROLOGY
With over 20 years of specialist experience, Mr Streeter offers a wide range of diagnostic and treatment options for most general urological conditions such as urinary symptoms, blood in the urine, raised PSA, prostate and bladder cancer, infections, stones, penile and scrotal problems, pain conditions and many others.
