About
P. Cathcart is a leading urological surgeon and researcher whose work has fundamentally shaped the delivery of prostate cancer care and the advancement of robotic surgical techniques. His research spans three critical domains: the reorganisation of cancer services, the refinement of minimally invasive surgical procedures, and the rigorous evaluation of oncological outcomes. Notably, his 2015 study on achieving quality assurance during the reorganisation of prostate cancer services (76 citations) has become a cornerstone for health service planning, demonstrating how systemic changes can maintain—and even improve—surgical standards. Cathcart’s technical innovations are equally impactful; his description of the robot-assisted intracorporeal pyramid neobladder (70 citations) provided a reproducible technique for bladder reconstruction following cystectomy, offering patients improved functional outcomes. His comparative analyses, such as the 2016 study showing no significant difference in recurrence patterns between open and robotic cystectomy (43 citations), have provided crucial evidence for the adoption of robotic approaches. Beyond these contributions, Cathcart has been instrumental in large-scale audits, including the National Prostate Cancer Audit, and leads pioneering trials like TROMBONE, which explores radical prostatectomy in men with oligometastatic disease. With over 260 citations across his key works, Cathcart’s research continues to drive both clinical excellence and patient-centered innovation in urological oncology.
