About me
- Associate Professor (Docent) and Group Leader
I am Associate Professor in Cancer Epidemiology and Group Leader at the
Department of Oncology and Pathology. In my group we do breast cancer
research with a translational mindset. Breast cancer is the most common
female cancer and one of the main causes of death in women. It is a
heterogeneous disease both in the sense of primary tumor metastatic capacity
and time to metastatic spread of disease.
We have a specific interest in understanding the reasons behind early and
late risk of fatal disease as is seen in patients with breast cancer. Our
goal is to improve the prediction of patients’ risk which would allow for
aggressive life-threatening cancers to be treated aggressively to prevent
fatal disease, whereas sparing patients with less aggressive disease
unnecessary treatment. My analytical background together with my research
experience shows my strong interest in cancer and breast cancer from an
interdisciplinary perspective.

Research
- *My main research questions:*
* What influences the time to distant metastatic breast cancer disease and
time of treatment benefit?
* How does intratumor heterogeneity and tumor microenvironment impact
patient survival?
* Which factors are important to better understand the long-term risk to die
from breast cancer?
* Why do young women have a worse survival? How does the risk and benefit
from treatment differ in premenopausal vs postmenopausal women?
* Which benign breast diseases increase the risk for a future breast cancer
diagnosis? Age differences?

- The prognostic and therapeutic impact of intra-tumor heterogeneity in estrogen receptor-positive breast cancerSwedish Cancer Society1 January 2019Breast cancer is a very heterogeneous disease with different ability to spread and time to possible spread. Of the women who develop breast cancer, about one in four women will die. Most women are diagnosed with hormone-sensitive cancer, which means that the tumor is dependent on estrogen to grow, but only 50% of women benefit from hormonal treatment. Different tumor characteristics (breast cancer markers) determine what treatment a woman should receive. However, these do not predict patients' long-term risk of dying from their disease. Which is important to realize as breast cancer is common in mid-life and carries a risk of many lost female years. We have shown that patients who have tumor cells with different expressions, ie intra-tumor heterogeneity of estrogen (a breast cancer marker) within their tumor have twice the risk of dying from breast cancer. Our aim is therefore to investigate whether intra-tumor heterogeneity of the clinically used breast cancer markers and other tumor characteristics affect a patient's risk of dying from breast cancer. This is done by uniquely comparing intra-tumor heterogeneity of tumor properties (at the protein level and gene level) in women who have died of their disease and women who have survived in a unique way in large clinical cancer studies with long follow-up and detailed information. Our project aims to provide increased knowledge about factors that affect survival by identifying tumor characteristics that predict which patients have a high risk of dying from their disease and patients who do not benefit from hormonal treatment. Given that the markers are analyzed in large randomized studies and in close interdisciplinary collaboration with pathologists and oncologists, the knowledge, if it proves interesting, should be able to be used in the near future. This can be of great importance for women with breast cancer, and provide the opportunity for customized treatments and controls for women with a high risk of late recurrence of the disease.
