SIU Lecture: Role of MISTs in Male LUTS Surgical Management (Will TUR-P/ Laser Prostatectomy be Replaced?)
Jeremy is an oncological surgeon with primary interest in bladder cancer. Previously, he conducted a randomised trial comparing between bipolar and monopolar transurethral resection of bladder tumour (TURBT) and showed that bipolar TURBT was able to achieve a higher detrusor sampling rate than monopolar TURBT. He has also developed a global consensus statement on en bloc resection of bladder tumour (ERBT). A total of 99 statements reached consensus and they have become the standard reference for urologists practising en bloc resection globally. Recently, he published the results of the EB-StaR study, which is a multi-centre randomised trial demonstrating that ERBT could reduce the 1-year recurrence rate from 38.1% to 28.5% for patients with ≤3cm non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). He is also leading a phase 2 clinical trial on modified en bloc resection for large bladder tumours (>3cm). He is currently serving as a panel member of the European Association of Urology (EAU) Guidelines on NMIBC and Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma, and he is dedicated to high-quality research work in this area.
Jeremy has received numerous research grants with a total funding of more than 10 million USD.

He was the Chairperson of the Younger Fellows Chapter of the College of Surgeons of Hong Kong (2019-2021), the Chair of the Young Fellows Chapter of the Hong Kong Academy of Medicine (2021-2022), and he has been the Director of the Lions Kidney Educational Centre & Research Foundation since 2017.
