Professional background

Clément Orczyk is a clinical academic, consultant urologist, clinical lead of the Prostate Cancer Unit for diagnostic, active surveillance and focal therapy at University College London Hospitals since 2021 and Associate Professor of Urology at UCL on a tenure position.

Clément combines innovation within his research and clinical practice, convinced of the interlink to provide highest and above standard care for patients’ benefit. Excellence in research and clinical care on the topic of imaging and focal therapy of prostate cancer brought him from his native France to the US for a fellowship at the New York University in 2011 to UCL. He is a consultant at UCLH since 2017.

He forged his expertise in prostate cancer in the early days of the development of the paradigm shift to detect and treat prostate cancer based on most modern imaging techniques in combination with tissue analysis. He holds a PhD on this theme from a renown French Research centre in collaboration with NYU. In his routine practice, he delivers diagnostic procedure, focal therapy to finely selected patients in the form of focal High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU), focal cryotherapy, and Nanoknife electroporation.

He continues his translational research programme in the field of detection of prostate cancer combining imaging, molecular biology and recently artificial intelligence with the aim to truly only detect disease that matters for individual patients. He investigates new ways of treating cancer. He leads a very active clinical team with high level of expertise, enabling access to latest innovation in care for prostate cancer patients with a compassionate approach. He is an invited speaker in major international conferences, publish in high impact journals and make a point to train the current and next generation.
