For a relative recently diagnosed, I'm trying to find names (and
preferably contact info) for the "top" prostate cancer specialists in
the world (preferably in the US, UK or Singapore).  In particular,
urologists who perform surgery or radio oncologists who perform radio
therapy.  Surgeon contacts are higher priority.

In addition, I would like to know the 2 or 3 research institutions
(presumably hospitals or universities)who are the most highly regarded
in this area.

Please provide at least 5 resources (can be mix of Doctors names and
institutions or other useful pointers).

Thanks!

A doctor friend of mine in the UK, reckons that the US is more
advanced than the UK. I've forgotten his explanation.

Gold standard for surgery is Johns Hopkins in Baltimore.  Best surgeon
is Patrick Walsh.  He's the fellow who originated "nerve sparing"
operation that allows erection after the operation (in a large
percentage of patients.)

I've concentrated on two places for "Robot-assisted" surgery - Henry
Ford Hospital in Detroit and Cornell / NY Presbyterian in New York. 
They've both done more than 1,000 cases.

Andy Grove of Intel went to Seattle from California for his radiation.
 Sorry but I don't know where he went.  The "Seattle Prostate
Institute" claims to be the world leader in seed implant.

Hope this helps.
