Research interests
Professor Holmberg's research group is currently working on clinical aspects of breast cancer (e.g. long term outcome after new ipsi- or contralateral breast events), on aetiology of prostate cancer with special emphasis on the role of the metabolic syndrome and on translational research in lung cancer (e.g. the characteristics of long term survivors of lung cancer). The group works closely with Thames Cancer Registry on national and international comparisons of cancer survival. Virtually all the studies are undertaken in a network with Scandinavian and American researchers. The research group also has a strong interest in cancer screening, and in developing new concepts of survival analyses that better accommodate the role of competing risks in an ageing population burdened with cancer. There are plans to further develop programs to aid clinical decision-making related to tumour markers.
Research interests (short)
Breast cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer, translational research (molecular epidemiology), cancer screening, decision theory, validate tumour markers, survival analysis, quality of care.
