Christopher Ogden
Area of expertise: Urological malignancy, robotic and laparoscopic surgery
Chris Ogden is a Consultant Urologist at The Royal Marsden Hospital NHS Trust. His specific interests lie in urological malignancy, ileo-orthotopic bladder substitution following radical cystectomy for invasive bladder cancer in men and women. After much experience with both nerve sparing retro pubic and perineal radical prostatectomy he now performs Robotic Prostatectomy using the da Vinci system and has performed over 500 procedures with the robot. He also performs laparoscopic nephrectomy.
Chris has considerable research interests. His principal research interests have been in the molecular biology of bladder and prostate cancer. This research has led to the discovery of novel genes preferentially expressed in bladder and prostate cancer that may prove to be both a diagnostic and a therapeutic target. Chris has also been involved in the monoclonal targeting of oncological tumors in terms of staging urological malignancies and their treatment. His thesis was in the development of microwave technology for the treatment of prostatic disorders. He has also been involved in the investigation of the role of dentritic cell response in bladder cancer.
