About

Professor Marco Gerlinger specialises in the treatment of patients with bowel, stomach and oesophageal cancers at The LOC Harley Street and The Harley Street Clinic. He is also a Consultant Medical Oncologist, Chair of Gastrointestinal Cancer Medicine and the Director of GI Cancer Research at St Bartholomew's Hospital and Queen Mary University of London.

Prof Gerlinger studied Medicine at the University of Munich, Harvard Medical School and Imperial College and obtained his research MD from the Institute of Immunology in Munich. He trained in General Medicine and Medical Oncology in Zurich and London and undertook post-doctoral research training in Zurich and at the CRUK London Research Institute (now The Francis Crick Institute).

In 2013, Prof Gerlinger joined the Royal Marsden Hospital as a consultant in GI cancer and the Institute of Cancer Research as a research team leader. He was subsequently appointed at St Bartholomew's Hospital and Queen Mary University London in 2022.

With his clinical and research teams, he leads clinical trials and develops precision medicine biomarkers and new immunotherapies for bowel, stomach and oesophageal cancers. Another research focus is how circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) can be used to detect and then optimally treat minimal residual disease after surgery.

Prof Gerlinger is a faculty member of the American Society of Clinical Oncology and the European Society of Medical Oncology Annual Meetings 2022 and of scientific committees of the American Association of Cancer Research. He has been awarded multiple highly prestigious research grants from the European Commission, Cancer Research UK, the UK Medical Research Council and the National Institute of Health Research.

Professor Gerlinger and his team were great, unfortunately the treatment he offers was not suitable for my Father but he referred him to a Liverpool hospital as they offered a different kind of treatment, we wouldn't of known about this if we had not had a consultation. My father will start his treatment in about 4 weeks, Thank you Professor it was a pleasure to meet you

Professor Gerlinger's explanation of my medical condition was clear and precise and he explained to me in layman's terms which was easy for me to understand. He had read my medical records from the hospital and had a good understanding of my condition, even though some of the hospital notes he had only received on the afternoon of my appointment. He was honest when discussing any treatment that may be available to me. I left the meeting feeling satisfied that I have been given the best advice possible as he also provided and alternative route which could help me.

Professor Gerlinger is kind, smart and attentive person. Treatment which professor provide is really helpful and I could live my normal live. Professor provide all information in smooth, but honest way. The treatment process is long, so professor is also pay attention on side effects to allow normal live activities. In my humble opinion it is just nice to communicate with such a good person. I am very grateful to the professor for his work.

Understands that I have a life outside treatment and is happy to work around that. He's concerned about my quality of life. He listens to me and my priorities and wants to know how the treatment is affecting me. He responds by adjusting or explaining the treatment. He has a very reassuring manner. He is open to hearing our ideas and always explains his response but doesn’t close things down. I feel well looked after and have confidence in his care.
