Brendan John Moran

The Peritoneal Malignancy Institute, Basingstoke is one of the highest volume centres in the World, particularly for Appendiceal tumours and Pseudomyxoma Peritonei, and has published the largest experience with 1,200 operative cases. Basingstoke staged the first three meetings of what subsequently has become PSOGI. More recently Basinsgtoke has been central to the development of PSOGI Consensus Guidelines on the histology of Appendiceal tumours and PMP classification under the chairmanship of Norman Carr (Carr et al Am J Surg Path 2015). We have recently developed a large colorectal peritoneal metastases progam as one of three centres in the UK (population approximately 65 million) The main interests of the unit are in surgical training and new unit development (Units in Birmingham, UK, Tokyo, Japan, Brisbane, Australia and Dublin, Ireland have been developed in conjunction with Basinsgtoke). We continue to present and publish on clinical topics and have an exciting ongoing molecular biology project with Southampton University which has been generously supported by NORD.
