About
Katalin Kiss is a Danish pathologist and researcher specializing in head and neck oncology, with particular expertise in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) and the growing epidemic of human papillomavirus (HPV)-related malignancies. Her work sits at a critical intersection of surgical pathology, molecular diagnostics, and emerging treatment technologies, making her a valued contributor to multidisciplinary cancer research teams at Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen. Kiss has played a meaningful role in advancing transoral robotic surgery (TORS) as both a diagnostic and therapeutic tool for head and neck cancers, including the challenging subset of squamous cell carcinoma of unknown primary. Her collaborative studies, accumulating over 40 citations each, helped establish the feasibility and oncological safety of TORS within Scandinavian cancer centers. She has also contributed to innovative imaging research, including uPAR-targeted near-infrared fluorescence and PET imaging for surgical guidance, work that has attracted 56 citations and holds significant promise for improving surgical precision. Her investigations into HPV oncogene distribution in resection specimens further illuminate the biological behavior of oropharyngeal tumors. Across her career, Kiss exemplifies the essential role pathologists play in shaping clinical treatment strategies for head and neck cancer.
