About me
I am a Clinical Oncologist specialising in lung cancer and skin cancer treatment in central London, with patients referred from across the UK and internationally. I see patients at all stages, from those recently told they have a shadow on a scan (lung nodule), persistent cough, coughing up blood, shortness of breath, or an abnormal chest X-ray, through to those already diagnosed with lung cancer seeking rapid treatment or a second opinion.
For people with lung cancer, I provide comprehensive care from diagnosis to treatment, including coordination of biopsies, scans, and multidisciplinary team discussions. I offer chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and advanced radiotherapy techniques. I treat non-small cell lung cancer, small cell lung cancer, stage 3 lung cancer, stage 4 lung cancer, mesothelioma, thymoma, and cancer that has spread to the lung (lung metastases). I also manage complications such as fluid on the lung (pleural effusion), arranging drainage procedures when needed.
I specialise in state-of-the-art radiotherapy including proton beam therapy (PBT), CyberKnife, and MRI-guided radiotherapy (MR-Linac). These advanced treatments are particularly valuable for patients with large tumours, tumours near critical organs, underlying lung conditions, or complex cases that cannot be treated with conventional radiotherapy. Proton beam therapy significantly reduces radiation exposure to the heart and healthy lung tissue, enabling curative treatment for patients with stage 3 lung cancer who might otherwise face unacceptable side effects.
I specialise in treating patients whose cancer has spread to a small number of sites (oligometastatic disease). Using stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR/SBRT), I can precisely target and treat these limited areas of spread, often without the need for chemotherapy or surgery. This precision treatment is particularly effective for patients with 1 to 5 metastatic spots in the lung, liver, bone, or brain, and can be used for many cancer types including breast cancer, melanoma, colon cancer, and prostate cancer. For many patients, SABR offers the possibility of long-term control with minimal side effects and a short treatment course of typically 1 to 5 sessions. For cancer that has spread to the brain (brain metastases), I provide stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), delivering highly effective control with minimal impact on surrounding healthy brain tissue.
For skin cancer, I offer both radiotherapy and systemic treatments. Radiotherapy for basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma provides excellent cure rates with superior cosmetic outcomes. For melanoma, I provide cutting-edge immunotherapy and targeted therapies that achieve remarkable long-term responses for many patients. I also specialise in keloid scar treatment, working alongside plastic surgeons to combine surgical removal with precise radiotherapy.
I welcome patients from across the UK and offer initial video consultations to discuss your diagnosis and treatment options. For patients requiring treatment in London, I coordinate all aspects of your care at leading private hospitals including The Cromwell Hospital and The London Clinic. Where appropriate, I can also arrange for some treatments to be delivered closer to your home. One of the benefits of private oncology care is the direct access and personal attention it provides. When you choose to work with me, you can expect appointments within 48 hours, direct communication with rapid responses to your questions, and coordination of all scans and investigations on your behalf. I personally oversee every aspect of your treatment plan, ensuring continuity of care and clarity at each step. Whether you are seeking diagnosis, treatment, or a second opinion for lung cancer, I provide personalised care with access to the most advanced treatments available in the UK.
