About
Professor Sharad Karandikar is a leading colorectal surgeon whose research has profoundly shaped the surgical management of colorectal cancer. His key contributions center on optimizing surgical techniques and developing evidence-based clinical guidelines that directly improve patient outcomes. Most notably, he was a principal author of the landmark 2017 Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain & Ireland (ACPGBI) guidelines for the surgical management of colon, rectal, and anal cancer. This highly influential work, cited over 50 times, provides a comprehensive framework for modern surgical practice, addressing critical areas such as laparoscopic techniques, total mesorectal excision, and the management of metastatic disease. Professor Karandikar's research has also focused on the effectiveness of the "2-week rule" referral pathway for suspected cancers, demonstrating its impact on timely diagnosis and treatment. Through his rigorous clinical research and leadership in guideline development, he has helped standardize and elevate the quality of colorectal cancer care, making a lasting impact on surgical practice and patient survival.
