Dr Karol Sikora (born 1948)[1] is a British physician specialising in oncology. He is currently dean of the University of Buckingham's medical school: the first private medical school in the UK.[2] He is considered to be one of the world's foremost experts on cancer treatment,[3] having been Chief of the World Health Organisation's cancer programme between 1997 and 1999.
Sikora has co-authored or edited twenty books, including Treatment of Cancer, which is the standard postgraduate textbook on the subject in the United Kingdom, and the Economics of Cancer Care. Sikora is known for his outspoken views,[2] and has written for the Times,[4] the Observer,[5] the Daily Mail,[6] the New Statesman,[7] and other publications.
He has been accused of implying a professional association with Imperial College London when he in fact holds no position at the university.[8]
