He introduced and is providing rapid central pathology review for the UK and another 20 countries, which enables children to be treated accurately, avoiding under- or over treatment as it was the case in the past. He is responsible for coordinating work of another 9 national/regional pathology panels around the world and is the principal author of the classification of renal tumors of childhood which has been followed for treatment stratification in the last 20 years in the SIOP trials and studies.
