| Specialty : | Surgical management of bladder, prostate and kidney cancers and aims to integrate high quality surgery with world class research activity. |
| Research : | John Kelly integrates translational research with clinical practice with the aim to improve outcomes for patients with bladder cancer. He is the chief investigator for the National trials BOXIT, BOLERO and HYMN and is the Chair of the National Cancer Research Institute Bladder CSG. His research group is supported by Cancer Research UK and the Comprehensive Biomedical Research Centre at UCLH. His group applies multilayer genomic strategies on tumour cohorts derived from comprehensive tumour banks to identify processes and pathways and biomarkers pertinent to bladder carcinogenesis. The CRUK funded trial "BOLERO" will eventually determine whether it is feasible to compare standard open surgery to keyhole minimal access surgery for the treatment of bladder cancer |
