About Furrat Amen
I am a teaching hospital consultant at Peterborough City Hospital and Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge. I specialise in both adult and paediatric ENT surgery. My specialist interest is thyroid disease and head and neck cancer. I was the Chair of the Regional Head and Neck Cancer Team at Addenbrooke's.
I am the founder and conference director of the Cambridge International Head and Neck Cancer Conference (www.cambridgeheadandneckcancer.com).
My practice includes treatment of all ear, nose and throat problems including cosmetic reshaping of the nose.
I was the international head and neck and thyroid cancer surgical fellow at the world-famous Institut Gustave Roussy, Paris, France's national and international referral centre for head and neck cancer and thyroid cancer and was awarded the Diploma of Head and Neck Cancer Studies at the University of Paris.
I studied medicine at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, London followed by training in ENT at the Radcliffe Infirmary, Oxford. I was a Specialist Registrar in the North Thames London Rotation based at the Royal National Throat Nose and Ear Hospital, Royal Marsden Hospital and Great Ormond Street Hospital, London. I completed genetics research at the Hammersmith Hospital, London, and was awarded a Masters degree in Surgical Sciences from Imperial College, London.
My main research interests are translational genetics cancer research allowing for personalised cancer treatment. I am currently leading a multicentre cancer study based at the Royal Marsden Hospital, London.
