Anna Martling
Om mig
Anna Martling är professor i kirurgi vid Karolinska Institutet i Stockholm. Hon disputerade 2003 med en avhandling om ändtarmscancer, blev specialist i kirurgi 2004 och docent 2009. År 2014 utnämndes hon till professor i kirurgi.
Professor Martling har haft flera betydande akademiska uppdrag vid Karolinska Institutet. Under perioden 2015–2018 var hon lärarrepresentant i Styrelsen för forskning. Mellan 2019 och 2023 var hon dekan för Campus Nord. Inom ramen för detta uppdrag hade hon ett övergripande ansvar för att koordinera och driva implementeringen av precisionsmedicin i hälso- och sjukvården inom Region Stockholm under åren 2020–2024. Under 2024 verkade hon som Scientific Director för Life Science vid Karolinska Institutet i Stockholm.
Sedan 2008 leder hon en forskargrupp och ansvarar för forskningsområdet kolorektalkirurgi, med särskilt fokus på kliniska, translationella och epidemiologiska studier av kolorektal cancer. Forskningsgruppen har haft ett särskilt intresse för prediktiva och prognostiska biomarkörer, behandling med acetylsalicylsyra, strålbehandling, optimal tidpunkt för kirurgi samt utveckling av nya kirurgiska tekniker. Professor Martling har framgångsrikt integrerat forskningen i den kliniska verksamheten och skapat en unik, kreativ och akademisk miljö som främjar högkvalitativ klinisk forskning.
Hennes forskning har uppmärksammats med flera prestigefyllda utmärkelser. År 2013 tilldelades hon Svensk Kirurgisk Förenings Stora Forskningspris och 2021 utsågs hon till Årets cancerforskare av Cancerfonden.
Professor Martling är internationellt erkänd som en ledande expert inom sitt område och är en frekvent inbjuden föreläsare såväl nationellt som internationellt. Hon är hedersledamot (Honorary Fellow) vid Royal College of Surgeons of England (FRCS), American College of Surgeons (FACS), American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons (FASCRS) samt European Society of Coloproctology (FESCP).
Hon är även ordförande för Swedish Colorectal Cancer Study Group, ett nationellt forskningsnätverk inom kolorektal cancer. Under perioden 2015–2018 var hon ordförande för programkommittén inom European Society of Coloproctology (ESCP) och ansvarade för det vetenskapliga programmet vid sällskapets årliga kongress.
Professor Martlings forskning finansieras av Vetenskapsrådet, Cancerfonden, Radiumhemmets forskningsfonder, Karolinska Institutet och Region Stockholm. År 2014 mottog hon Vetenskapsrådets då största anslag för klinisk behandlingsforskning, om 25 miljoner kronor.
Angelägna frågor
Karolinska Institutet (KI) behöver gemensamt utveckla en stimulerande och forskningsstödjande miljö som möjliggör världsledande grundvetenskaplig, translationell och klinisk forskning. Genom att integrera dessa områden kan vi skapa ny kunskap om livet och bidra till att förbättra människors hälsa.
En central del i detta arbete är utvecklingen och implementeringen av precisionsmedicin. Genom ett fördjupat samarbete mellan KI, SciLifeLab, Karolinska Universitetssjukhuset och Region Stockholm kan nya medicinska rön och teknologier snabbare omsättas i vården, vilket möjliggör mer träffsäkra och individualiserade diagnostiska metoder och behandlingar i internationell framkant. En avgörande förutsättning är att etablera robusta strukturer för lagring, bearbetning, integrering och analys av stora och komplexa datamängder. Detta är centralt både för utvecklingen av precisionsmedicin och för att möjliggöra sekundäranvändning av hälsodata i forskning. KI bör här ta en ledande roll inom datahantering, artificiell intelligens och avancerade analysmetoder för att driva nästa generations medicinska genombrott.
Samtidigt står KI inför både utmaningar och möjligheter till följd av de pågående förändringarna i sjukvårdsstrukturen inom Region Stockholm. Det är därför avgörande att KI är en aktiv och strategisk part i denna utveckling och tar tillvara möjligheten att forma framtidens forsknings- och utbildningsmiljöer.
Avgörande för KIs fortsatta utveckling är att etablera en fullt integrerad kunskapsmiljö där akademi och hälso- och sjukvård tillsammans fungerar som en drivkraft för innovation. Detta kräver en ytterligare stärkt integration mellan olika forskningsdiscipliner, samtidigt som vi öppnar upp för nya kompetenser och samarbeten över fakultetsgränser.

- Swedish Research Council1 januari 2023 - 31 december 2026The rapid development of technologies for molecular profiling paves the way for precision medicine approaches to match patients with effective treatment. Through the development of a coordinating support unit, we aim to provide access to SciLifeLab’s technology platforms to support academic and industry-initiated clinical trials. We will establish customized diagnostic packages jointly with clinical trials units across the country to strengthen our attractiveness as a clinical trial site and to ensure early access of patients to both innovative technologies and emerging treatments.Our goal is to identify mature technologies to be evaluated in observational studies and adopted in interventional biomarker-driven clinical trials. To build this capacity, connecting SciLifeLab national infrastructure to clinical practice, key developments supporting cross-platform data, sample and analysis flows with timelines and quality complying with the needs of clinical trials are needed. Our unit will unite services from current and emerging sequencing technologies, to proteome, metabolome, spatial biology techniques, and drug efficacy testing. Our competitive edge is the repertoire of technologies at SciLifeLab, which once combined provide a unique opportunity for clinical trials. With the ‘service packages’ we aim to make Sweden competitive as a trial site, catalyze academy-industry ecosystems and provide opportunities for early access to the latest diagnostic technologies and treatments.

- Swedish Research Council1 januari 2024 - 31 december 2026There is a large need for improved biomarkers and treatments in colorectal cancer (CRC). Immune surveillance plays a large part in the natural course and treatment sensitivity of CRC. Previous studies have largely neglected the regulatory roles of fibroblasts in immune regulation and have failed to consider regulatory processes in tumor draining lymph nodes.This project tests the hypothesis that well-informed profiling of paired primary tumors and tumor draining lymph nodes can identify novel clinically relevant immune-regulatory processes with drug target and biomarker potential.The discovery-focused sub-study 1 use imaging mass cytometry for high-content in situ tissue profiling to identify novel fibroblast-regulated immune niches with preliminary outcome associations.The second sub-studyexpand findings with a multi-marker analysis of selected novel immune features in large clinically well-annotated colorectal cancer collections to explore their biomarker potential.Sub-study 3 use experimental co-culture studies for molecular characterization and CRISPR/Cas9-based target identification in fibroblast-regulated immune pathways suggested by the tissue profiling.Studies are developing large set of preliminary findings. Feasibility will be ensured by expertise of applicant on tumor microenvironment and tissue profiling, combined with colorectal cancer expertise of partner surgeon, oncologist, pathologist, and support from experts in tumor immunology and CRISPR/Cas9 screens.
- Swedish Cancer Society1 januari 2024About 7,000 people in Sweden get colon and rectal cancer every year. Improved treatment has led to increased survival, but almost half of the patients still suffer from difficult-to-treat relapses with a high risk of death. In the case of widespread disease, there are treatments that prolong survival, but which only lead to a cure in a small percentage. Improved additional treatments and new biomarkers - with the aim of reducing the risk of relapse - would therefore be of the greatest value. The project includes epidemiological studies as well as studies of new treatments, preventive measures and development of new techniques and biomarkers for diagnostics, prognosis and treatment response for patients with colon and rectal cancer. New opportunities to analyze gene changes provide opportunities for prognostication and individualized treatment. For example, we are now conducting the first biomarker-based study of treatment with acetylsalicylic acid with the aim of reducing the risk of relapse. In tumor disease, tumor fragments containing DNA are released into the bloodstream, which can be a potentially very accurate and dynamic biomarker that is now being studied. Our research aims at more patient-specific care throughout the entire care chain in order to increase the chance of a cure and a reduction in suffering due to side effects. Furthermore, through improved additional treatments, we hope to reduce the risk of relapse. Through the creation of a national registry-based research platform including genetic data, we will enable almost limitless possibilities for future studies concerning relationships, signaling pathways and biomarkers. This will be an important step in the development of precision medicine with significant improvements in prevention, diagnosis and prognosis for patients with colon and rectal cancer.

- Swedish Cancer Society1 januari 2021Colon and rectal cancer affects approximately 6,800 people in Sweden annually. Treatment has improved, which has led to increased survival, but almost half of the patients still suffer from difficult-to-treat relapses with a high risk of death. In the case of widespread disease, there are treatments that prolong survival, but which only lead to a cure in a small percentage. Improved adjunctive treatments – with the aim of reducing the risk of relapse – would therefore be of the greatest value. We are towards the final phase of a study that studies the value of different radiation treatment regimens where the results show that a newly introduced regimen reduces the risk of side effects by about 40%. Furthermore, sexual function, hormones, bone breakdown and rehabilitation after radiotherapy are studied, which was previously sparsely studied. Acetylsalicylic acid has been shown to reduce the occurrence of polyps, reduce the risk of colon and rectal cancer and also reduce the risk of developing daughter tumors. We have now initiated the first biomarker-based study of treatment with acetylsalicylic acid in patients with colon and rectal cancer with the aim of reducing the risk of recurrence. Our clinical, close-to-patient research concerning various aspects of diagnosis, treatment and prognosis has led to improved treatment strategies, reduced relapses and improved survival. The research aims at more patient-specific care throughout the entire care chain in order to thereby increase the chances of a cure and a reduced suffering from side effects. Furthermore, through further improved additional treatments, we hope to reduce the risk of relapse. Through the creation of a national research platform, we will enable almost unlimited possibilities for future studies concerning connections, signaling pathways and biomarkers.

- Improved patient-specific investigation, treatment and rehabilitation of patients with rectal cancerSwedish Cancer Society1 januari 2018Thick and rectal cancer annually affects about 6,000 people. The treatment is essentially surgical. In recent years, treatment has improved, which has led to increased survival in the disease, but still nearly half of the patients suffer from difficult-to-treat relapses. In spite of a localized tumor, 20-40% of patients will develop remote proliferation at high risk of death. In spreading disease there are new treatments that prolong survival, but only in a small proportion of patients leads to cure. Improved add-on treatments - in order to reduce the risk of relapse - would therefore be of greatest value. We are towards the final phase of a randomized multicentre study that studies the value of different radiation treatment regimens where the results show that a newly introduced regimen can reduce the risk of side effects by about 40% while maintaining good oncological results. Furthermore, sexual function and hormones are studied after radiation therapy, which has been sparingly studied previously. Treatment with acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) has shown to reduce the incidence of polyps, reduce the risk of colon and rectal cancer and also reduce the risk of developing daughter tumors. We have now initiated the first biomarker-based study of treatment with ASA in patients with colorectal cancer. Our clinical, patient-related research on various aspects of diagnosis, treatment and prognosis in rectal cancer has resulted in altered treatment strategies and reduced local recurrence rates and improved survival. The research program aims at a more patient-specific cancer incident throughout the care chain from diagnostics to rehabilitation, thereby increasing the chances of cure and a reduced suffering of side effects. Furthermore, we hope that further improved supplementary treatments will reduce the risk of relapse. Our studies are all well applicable in clinical practice and will immediately benefit the patients.

- Sexual function, well-being and hormone levels in women and men with rectal cancer: the importance of early intervention and sexual rehabilitationSwedish Cancer Society1 januari 2016Intestinal cancer is the seventh most common form of cancer and is mainly treated with surgery, sometimes in combination with radiation therapy. However, the treatment may cause side effects. Sexual dysfunction is well described in men, but less in women. The cause may be the surgical trauma, lack of intestinal function, urinary incontinence, stoma and bodily changes. In the radiation treatment, ovaries and testicles are exposed to radiation, which can lead to premature menopause, infertility, fragile mucous membranes and intercourse pain, and possibly a hormone deficiency. In men, decreased testosterone levels are seen, in women this has not previously been studied. We intend to study how radiation therapy and pelvic surgery in women and men with rectal cancer affect hormone levels, sexual function and well-being. In men, the influence on sperm production will also be studied, which has also been sparingly studied previously. Based on the results of the previous studies within the project, we have initiated a new study that studies the value of early intervention with the addition of PDE-5 inhibitors in low dose and testosterone substitution on sexual function after treatment of rectal cancer which has not previously been studied. In recent decades, treatment and prognosis in rectal cancer has improved significantly and more and more people survive the disease. It is thus becoming increasingly important to study the quality of life after the treatment has been completed. The objectives of the project are to increase knowledge of sexual function, quality of life and hormone levels after radiotherapy and surgery in women and men with rectal cancer and to improve the care of this large patient group regarding psychosexual prevention, information, rehabilitation and intervention.
