About

Cai Grau is a leading figure in radiation oncology, whose work has fundamentally shaped the treatment of head and neck cancer. His research focuses on improving radiotherapy protocols, optimizing fractionation schedules, and integrating modern imaging and biology into clinical practice. As the principal architect behind the Danish Head and Neck Cancer Group (DAHANCA) guidelines, Grau has driven the standardization of care that directly improves patient outcomes. His landmark 2020 radiotherapy guidelines, cited over 130 times, serve as a global reference for evidence-based treatment planning. Beyond guidelines, Grau has made seminal contributions to understanding the role of hypoxia and accelerated radiotherapy, and he has been instrumental in advancing proton therapy and normal tissue complication modeling. With a career spanning decades, his work has not only shaped Danish oncology but has influenced international consensus. A prolific mentor and collaborator, Grau’s impact is measured not only in thousands of citations but in the lives improved by the precise, data-driven radiotherapy he has championed.
