Mr Paul Sutton is a Consultant General and Colorectal Surgeon currently seeing private patients at HCA The Wilmslow Hospital and The Christie Clinic. As a core member of the Advanced Pelvic Malignancy, Peritoneal Tumour Service, and Neuroendocrine MDTs at The Christie, Mr Sutton specialises in the management of colorectal cancer. He performs open and minimally invasive surgery for primary, advanced, and recurrent cancer, including pelvic exenteration and sacrectomy.

Mr Sutton also performs cytoreductive surgery with heated intra-peritoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for appendix tumours and colorectal peritoneal metastases, and surgery for neuroendocrine tumours. He is a JAG accredited endoscopist and performs diagnostic and therapeutic colonoscopy.

Mr Sutton graduated from the University of Nottingham in 2006, followed by postgraduate training in Nottingham, Manchester, and Liverpool. During his training, he was awarded a Clinical Research Training Fellowship by Cancer Research UK and undertook a PhD to explore methods of improving treatment response to chemotherapy and radiotherapy in colorectal cancer. For this work, he was awarded both the John of Arderne medal from the Royal Society of Medicine and the Arris & Gale medal from the Royal College of Surgeons of England.

After completing his surgical training, he undertook further fellowship training at The Christie, completing both the European Society of Peritoneal Surface Oncology fellowship and the European Board Surgical Qualification in Surgical Oncology, for which he won the prize for the best examination performance. Following this, Mr Sutton undertook a further year’s training at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney – the world’s most experienced unit for the management of advanced pelvic malignancy. Mr Sutton returned to The Christie in 2021 as a Consultant Surgeon, where he specialises in the management of locally advanced and recurrent rectal cancer, peritoneal surface malignancy (including cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC), appendix, and neuroendocrine tumours.
