About
Birthe Thing Oggesen is a clinical researcher whose work centers on survivorship and long-term functional outcomes following colorectal cancer treatment. Her primary research area focuses on the underrecognized yet critical quality-of-life issue of erectile dysfunction after rectal cancer surgery. In her landmark 2023 cohort study, Oggesen prospectively characterized the prevalence and nature of this complication, providing some of the first rigorous, prospective data on the subject. This work has already garnered 10 citations, signaling its importance in reshaping postoperative care standards. By systematically documenting a problem often minimized in clinical practice, Oggesen has given voice to a vulnerable patient population and laid essential groundwork for developing better pre-surgical counseling and targeted rehabilitation strategies. Her research bridges the gap between surgical oncology and sexual health, offering a more holistic view of recovery. For students and clinicians alike, Oggesen’s work is a compelling reminder that true cancer survivorship care must address the full spectrum of life after treatment.
