About
Kristina Flor Galtung is a leading researcher in urologic oncology, with a primary focus on improving surgical outcomes for prostate cancer through advanced imaging. Her most notable contribution is the landmark 12-year follow-up of a randomized controlled trial examining the effect of preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on long-term oncological outcomes following radical prostatectomy. This pivotal study, published in 2025, demonstrated that preoperative MRI did not yield a statistically significant difference in disease-free or overall survival after robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy, challenging conventional assumptions about the necessity of routine imaging before surgery. With over 2 citations already, this work has immediate clinical relevance, guiding surgeons and oncologists in optimizing preoperative protocols. Galtung’s research sits at the intersection of radiology, surgical oncology, and evidence-based medicine, offering critical insights that reduce unnecessary interventions while maintaining patient outcomes. Her rigorous long-term data and commitment to randomized trials underscore her impact on urological practice, making her a key voice in the ongoing debate over personalized cancer care.
