Date of Birth: 15th September 1960
Nationality: British
Current Appointment:
Consultant Uro-Oncologist the Royal Marsden Hospital, London.
I have been appointed to set up a new robotic urological service using the latest Da Vinci S laparoscopic robotic device, as well as having the opportunity to offer all treatment options for prostate cancer including HIFU.
Consultant Urologist Chelsea and Westminster and St Mary's hospitals. Jan 2002 - Dec 2006
I was appointed clinical lead in General Surgery and Urology. I have developed my skills in Laparoscopic surgery including nephrectomy. In November 2004 I put together the first team in the UK to be certified in Radical Robotic Prostatectomy using the Da Vinci System. Since then I have performed around 150 radical robotic prosatetectomies and several robotic pyeloplasties.
I have been involved in the first treatments in the UK using High Intensity Focused Ultrasound to treat prostate cancer. This is a day case treatment. I have also been using the day case green light laser treatment for benign prostatic hypertrophy.

Research Interests:
I have successfully funded and supervised Four research fellows leading to the award of the MD thesis. My research is into identifying the re-expression of highly specific developmental genes involved in the early development of the embryo and the urogenital tract. My team has found expression of PAX2 in prostate cancer and PAX5 in bladder cancer. I have explored the possible link between Human endogenous retrovirus encoded in the human genome and prostate cancer and role of Dentritic cells in bladder cancer, in particular in their role in BCG therapy with the aim of understanding the immunological response with the hope of developing more specific treatments. Clinical trials and evaluation include the monoclonal targeting of prostate cancer a phase II open-label trial to evaluate intravenous 3622W94 monoclonal antibody for the treatment of metastatic prostate cancer. The evaluation of primary and metastaic cancer of the prostate using radioimmunoscintigraphy with Indium-111 labeled CYT-356. Over the last few years I have been one of the first urologists in the UK to assess and introduce robotic surgery and High Intensity Focused ultrasound treatments for prostate cancer.
Consultant Urologist Northwick park and St Mark's Hospitals. Jan 1996-Dec 2001
I was appointed to my first Consultant Urologist post in 1995 at a busy district general Hospital and postgraduate teaching centre at Northwick Park and St Mark's. I became clinical lead in Urology. I performed common urological procedures such as TURP with up to ten a week and complex endourologial procedures such as ureteroscopy for stone extraction as many as five times a week.
I developed the use of the perineal approach for radical prostatectomy and the Studer orthotopic bladder replacement following radical cystectomy, including females.
I developed a combined perineal and abdomino-perineal approach for the treatment of locally advanced rectal cancer involving the prostate, a pioneering operation.
