He qualified in Glasgow in 1992, was appointed consultant in 2008 and runs a high-volume liver resection practice; he chaired the National Cancer Research Network upper GI group, is a past president of the British Association of Surgical Oncology and president-elect of the European Society of Surgical Oncology. He co-authored the 2023 British Society of Gastroenterology cholangiocarcinoma guideline and both 2026 CAPBIL papers from the UK HPB Research Collaborative Group, which pooled 516 gallbladder cancer operations from 24 UK centres including Aintree. The trust website has no consultant page for him (its search returned none on the check date), so the biography is taken from his HCA Healthcare UK consultant profile.","asOf":"2026-09-24","links":[{"label":"University of Liverpool staff page","url":"https://www.liverpool.ac.uk/people/hassan-malik"},{"label":"HCA Healthcare UK consultant profile (biography)","url":"https://www.hcahealthcare.co.uk/finder/stepconsultantprofile/hassan-malik-2"}],"tags":["biliary","surgeon","uk"],"related":["john-primrose","shahid-khan"],"cancers":["gallbladder","biliary-tract-cancer","cholangiocarcinoma","hcc"],"sections":[],"technologies":["hepatectomy"],"targets":[],"drugs":[],"companies":[],"institutions":["liverpool-hpb-centre"],"pathways":[],"terms":[],"trials":[],"people":[],"bottlenecks":[],"keyPapers":[],"journals":[],"dependsOn":[],"notes":[],"role":"Consultant Hepatobiliary Surgeon and Clinical Lead for Digestive Surgery, Liverpool University Hospitals (Aintree); Associate Professor, University of Liverpool","institutionId":"liverpool-hpb-centre","specialisms":["Hepatobiliary surgery","Liver resection","Retroperitoneal sarcoma","Surgical oncology"],"profiles":[{"label":"University of Liverpool staff page","url":"https://www.liverpool.ac.uk/people/hassan-malik"},{"label":"HCA Healthcare UK consultant profile (biography)","url":"https://www.hcahealthcare.co.uk/finder/stepconsultantprofile/hassan-malik-2"}],"papers":[{"title":"Surgical outcomes in gallbladder cancer: evidence from the UK nationwide CAPBIL study","journal":"HPB","year":2026,"doi":"10.1016/j.hpb.2026.06.009"},{"title":"Management of incidental gallbladder cancer in the nationwide CAPBIL study","journal":"British Journal of Surgery","year":2026,"doi":"10.1093/bjs/znag050"},{"title":"British Society of Gastroenterology guidelines for the diagnosis and management of cholangiocarcinoma","journal":"Gut","year":2023,"doi":"10.1136/gutjnl-2023-330029"}]},"route":"/people/hassan-malik/","neighbours":{"person":[{"id":"john-primrose","kind":"person","name":"John N.
