Grant Stewart is Professor of Surgical Oncology at the University of Cambridge, where he has a focus on developing and promoting surgery related clinical trials and translational research. As a urological surgeon, Grant has a specific interest in optimising management of patients with initially localised renal cancer, an area of great need within the disease, he provides all modes of treatment for kidney cancer, from major open surgery to robotic minimally invasive approaches. He is particularly interested in the concepts of early detection and screening for kidney cancer (Chief Investigator of the Yorkshire Kidney Screening Trial), optimised follow-up, as well as peri-surgical systemic therapy to optimise survival (i.e. NAXIVA, RAMPART and WIRE clinical trials). In order to make practice changing developments Professor Stewart has developed a range of interlinked clinical trials and translational research which are all underpinned by clinical excellence in managing renal cancer at Addenbrooke’s Hospital, Cambridge. To deliver on the above goals, Grant coordinates the Cambridge Renal Cancer Collaboration (CamRenCan) a group of over 50 clinicians, translational researchers and basic scientists across the Cambridge Biomedical Campus with a shared interest in renal cancer research. Professor Stewart is also Programme Lead for both Urological Malignancies and Integrated Cancer Medicine and chair of the Clinical Cabinet at CRUK Cambridge Centre. His research metrics are: £165 million research grant/clinical trial income and over 220 peer reviewed publications.
He is passionate about clinical and academic training and Director of the Academic Clinical Fellow Programme in Cambridge.
