Kreftkirurgi

Lindrende og palliativ kirurgi

Denne delen av vår forskningsgruppe forbedrer livene til pasienter med avansert kreft. Vi utforsker nye kirurgiske metoder for å lindre symptomer og øke pasientens komfort. Målet vårt er å etablere nye standarder for lindrende kirurgi for å optimalisere pasientresultater.

Perioperativ omsorg

Perioperativ omsorg, forberedelse og forbedret rehabilitering er nye tilnærminger innen kirurgisk onkologi som vektlegger mental og fysisk forberedelse til kirurgi. Vi utforsker individualiserte prehabiliteringsprogrammer for å forbedre pasienters fysiske og mentale helse, redusere kirurgiske komplikasjoner, og forbedre rehabilitering og langsiktige resultater.

Robotassistert kirurgi

Vår gruppe bruker robotikk for å fremme minimalt invasiv kirurgi. Vi forsker på robotassistert kirurgi for ulike kreftformer for å redusere inngrepet, forkorte sykehusopphold og forbedre pasientenes restitusjon. Ved å bruke avansert robotassistert kirurgi, har vi som mål å forbedre pasientenes livskvalitet, redusere kostnader og komplikasjoner, og redusere lengden på sykehusoppholdet.

Kirurgisk innovasjon

Innovasjon driver veksten innen kirurgisk onkologi. Vi fremmer innovativ tenkning og samarbeider med ingeniører, statistikere og andre fagpersoner for å utvikle nye kirurgiske verktøy, prosedyrer og tilnærminger. Vi ønsker å bedre kirurgisk onkologi.

Tumorbiologi 

Valg innen onkologi krever en solid forståelse av tumorbiologi. Vår forskningsgruppe undersøker de molekylære årsakene til ulike kreftformer og analyserer store epidemiologiske data for å finne mønstre og trender. Vi streber etter å informere om forebygging, påvisning og behandling av kreft.
