About
Birgit I. Lissenberg-Witte is a biostatistician and methodologist whose work bridges clinical prediction, surgical decision-making, and patient-reported outcomes across oncology. Her research centers on developing and validating risk models that translate complex clinical data into actionable tools for surgeons and patients. She has made major contributions to urologic oncology, particularly in predicting post-prostatectomy incontinence and selecting candidates for nerve-sparing surgery during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy—work that directly improves quality of life after cancer treatment. Her collaborative impact extends to hepatobiliary surgery, where she is involved in the landmark COLLISION trial comparing surgery versus thermal ablation for colorectal liver metastases, and to head and neck oncology, where she led a systematic review establishing the role of transoral robotic surgery for carcinoma of unknown primary. With several papers accumulating 30–47 citations, her work is widely used to guide clinical practice. Lissenberg-Witte exemplifies how rigorous statistical methodology, when applied to real-world surgical questions, can sharpen prognostic accuracy and personalize treatment decisions.
