Associate Professor Jeremy Grummet is an accomplished academic urologist who specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer.
One of his significant contributions to the field of urology is the development and promotion of transperineal biopsy as a safer alternative to the traditional transrectal biopsy for prostate cancer diagnosis. This technique is now recommended as the standard of care in official clinical guidelines and is the most commonly used prostate biopsy method in Australia. A/Prof Grummet is a prominent figure in the global TREXIT movement, which aimed to eliminate the practice of transrectal biopsy by the end of 2022.
He is also the co-founder of MRI PRO, an innovative online training program designed to enhance the accuracy and reporting standards of prostate MRI worldwide. MRI PRO has successfully advanced its mission, with radiologists and urologists from over 90 countries viewing its prostate MRI cases and webinar videos.
A/Prof Grummet holds the distinction of being the first non-European Member of the European Association of Urology (EAU) Prostate Cancer Guidelines Panel. These guidelines are widely used in Europe and endorsed globally, including by the Urological Society of Australia and New Zealand (USANZ).
He has pioneered the new treatment of focal therapy for prostate cancer in Australia and serves as a Co-Primary Investigator for the LIBERATE prospective clinical registry, which uses focal brachytherapy for single-focus intermediate-risk localised prostate cancer. This research, conducted in Australia, leverages accurate imaging to target treatment precisely, minimising side effects. Similar targeted treatment approaches have become the standard of care for other solid organ cancers like breast cancer.
Associate Professor Grummet currently focuses his research efforts toward prostate cancer diagnostics, including MRI and biopsy. He supervises PhD and Master of Surgery researchers in this field, exploring topics such as the risk of biopsy sepsis, diagnostic accuracy, the role of MRI-targeted biopsy, and PSMA PET scanning.

Dr Grummet was outstanding, as was his PA, Ms Kirsten Owens, both of whom I met yesterday only for the first time. The appropriate CT Scans were organised rapidly, the appointment with Dr Grummet also equally rapidly on the same day as the CT Scan. The scan results were explained, in the appointment, clearly, thoroughly and with a reassuring and sensitive “bedside manner”. Andrew P

Despite living 560 kms from Melbourne where Robotic Assisted Prostatectomy was performed, follow up appointments for the following two years were held over video or telephone links which I found very satisfactory. A big thank you to Jeremy and all the staff for their ongoing support.

My condition was explained fully and the options. It would have been good to know more about the medication side effects.
