About
Dr. Kathrine Kronberg Jakobsen is a leading surgical oncologist whose research centers on the treatment of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC), with a particular focus on transoral robotic surgery (TORS). Her major contribution lies in demonstrating that TORS combined with neck dissection can achieve excellent oncologic outcomes while minimizing the need for adjuvant radiotherapy, thereby reducing treatment-related morbidity. Her landmark 2024 study, which has already garnered 10 citations, provides compelling evidence from a consecutive single-institution series spanning 2013 to 2020, showing that early-stage OPSCC patients can be effectively managed with low rates of additional therapy. This work is especially significant given the rising incidence of HPV-driven OPSCC and the growing imperative to de-escalate treatment without compromising survival. Dr. Jakobsen’s research directly addresses the critical balance between cancer control and quality of life, positioning her as a key voice in the paradigm shift toward minimally invasive surgical approaches. Her findings are shaping clinical guidelines and offering patients a less toxic alternative to traditional chemoradiotherapy.
