He explains complex medical information, including scan results and various treatment options like Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy (SABR), in an easy-to-understand way. Patients report feeling listened to, completely confident, and receive first-class care from Dr. Wilson and his capable team. Key areas of expertise highlighted include radiotherapy, lung cancer, skin cancer, and his work in clinical oncology.
Dr James Wilson was exceptional. Kind, considerate and explained everything clearly. I couldn’t have wished for a better consultation.
Dr James Wilson made what could have been a difficult meeting so delightfully easy. Without drama he explained exactly what was going to be the treatment and very clearly he described the possible side effects. I feel I am in very safe hands and cannot wait to see him again.
After being diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancel that had spread to my lungs, I found James as I was frustrated at the lack of options for treatment I was being offered by the NHS in Scotland. James was extremely professional and approachable throughout my treatment with him, and after initially clarifying the spread of the disease, went above and beyond to come up with a treatment plan for me. He was an advocate for me to push for treatment that generally would not be an option. He was able to secure treatment that for me that I had been previously told was not available, and working with colleagues, has offered me a treatment that best fitted my needs. Whilst it is early days, the treatment so far has been positive, and without James' help I am not sure where I would have been. I will forever be in James' debt for the way he listened to me, pushed for the best treatment available and provided an excellent service both before, during and after treatment. Whilst I am in no way out of the woods in terms of my cancer, for the first time since my Stage 4 diagnosis, I have some positivity in my life and this is largely down to James and his team and the care I received. I self paid for my treatment with James, and whilst there was a cost to the treatment, the value he provided far exceeds this. I would highly recommend James to anyone needing similar treatment.
I arrived to the Harley Street clinic confused, concerned and rather stressed having been diagnosed with lung cancer and with the journey from South Wales. After just 5 minutes of sitting with Dr James Wilson I felt completely reassured and well 'joyful' at knowing my cancer is curable , to be told not to worry and that 'we need to make you well again' was what I needed to hear, I admit to welling up in tears of joy. I'm looking forward toy treatment!
Extremely encouraging experience in difficult times. Plain language and genuine compassion.
I saw James for SABR to a spot of cancer that was growing. He took the time I needed to understand why the treatment was right for me and explained my options. Treatment started quickly. All went smoothly. Very grateful for his care and attention.
Very accessible and gives time to listen and explain
Dr Wilson is always very approachable and he helps in any ways that he can, he pays attention to every little details and he is always very thorough in his assessment and recommending "the next step" . He is a.great Doctor and a very nice person too. He has got a.good Team working with him, they too are top professionals and friendly and always happy to help!!
Wonderful colleague, very knowledgeable and takes great care of his patients. An expert in cutting edge lung cancer treatments.

If you've just received a cancer diagnosis, you're likely feeling overwhelmed—by uncertainty, complex terminology, and a sense that time is slipping away. I understand that feeling deeply. I'm Dr James Wilson, a consultant clinical oncologist based in London, specialising in lung and skin cancers. I treat patients at some of the UK’s leading private hospitals, and I’m known for two things: offering access to the most advanced cancer treatments available—such as proton beam therapy, MR-Linac radiotherapy, and stereotactic radiotherapy—and for moving fast when time matters most. In this video, I share my personal story and professional approach to cancer care. From early-stage lung cancer to more complex, metastatic cases, I work with urgency and precision to give my patients the best possible chance.

Radiotherapy is a potentially curative treatment for lung cancer. However, like all medical treatments, it comes with potential side effects, some of which may persist long after the therapy has concluded.
