About me

  • I am a surgeon and Director of ovarian cancer surgery at the department of
    Pelvic Cancer, Karolinska University Hospital and Assistant Professor at
    Lehti Group, MTC, Karolinska Institutet.
    In the clinic I focus on advanced ovarian cancer surgery as well as
    robot-assisted surgery for cervical and endometrial cancer.
    My research is both clinical and translational with focus on the effect of
    surgical treatment on outcome in ovarian, cervical and endometrial cancer
    In the *Falconer group, KBH, * we examine oncologic outcomes related to
    surgical modality in cervical and endometrial cancer and surgical extent in
    advanced ovarian cancer.
    In the *Lehti group, MTC, * we examine how surgical treatment, the extent of
    surgery and local anesthetics affect mesothelial inflammation and tumor cell
    phenotype and functions in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Moreover, the
    effects of identified molecular pathways on aggressive tumour properties such
    as invasion and chemotherapy resistance of EOC cells are tested in functional
    /ex vivo/ assays.
