A closer look01 Practice
Care grounded in evidence.
Questions drawn from practice.
My work brings together the day-to-day decisions of uro-oncology and the questions behind them: how treatments perform, who benefits, and what we can learn from patients beyond clinical trials.
Working together
My clinical work includes a dedicated joint clinic with urology, bringing different specialties into the same treatment discussion.

02 Research
Beyond the trial.
Into clinical practice.
My PhD research focuses on real-world outcomes in metastatic kidney cancer, with interests in immunotherapy combinations and stereotactic radiotherapy.
Baseline laboratory values and metastatic burden predict survival in addition to IMDC risk in real-world renal cell carcinoma patients treated with ipilimumab-nivolumab
A retrospective study of 100 patients across three Swedish centres, examining whether routine blood markers and disease burden add prognostic information beyond IMDC risk.

Alongside this work, I’m interested in how systemic treatment and carefully selected local therapies can inform care in metastatic kidney cancer.
