About
Berit Legerstam is a leading researcher in gynaecologic oncology, with a particular focus on minimally invasive surgical techniques for the management of endometrial cancer. Her most impactful work centers on the comparative effectiveness of robot-assisted laparoscopy versus traditional laparotomy for infrarenal paraaortic lymphadenectomy in high-risk patients. In her landmark 2017 randomised controlled trial, which has garnered 64 citations, Legerstam provided critical evidence demonstrating the safety and feasibility of the robotic approach, contributing to a paradigm shift toward less invasive staging procedures. Her research has directly influenced clinical guidelines, helping to reduce surgical morbidity and recovery times for women with high-risk endometrial cancer. By rigorously evaluating surgical outcomes, Legerstam has established herself as a key figure in advancing the integration of robotic technology into gynaecologic oncology, and her work continues to inform best practices for lymph node staging in this challenging patient population.
