Om Karolina Larsson

Om Karolina Larsson

Karolina Larsson, MD, PhD, is a Senior Consultant in Clinical Oncology at Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Sweden with a clinical and research focus on metastatic breast cancer. She holds medical leadership responsibility for the Clinical Trials Unit and has extensive experience in quality improvement, implementation of evidence-based care, and the use of quality indicators within a EUSOMA-certified breast centre.

Her research aims to improve treatment selection and patient outcomes in metastatic breast cancer, a rapidly evolving field characterized by precision oncology, biomarker-driven therapies, and increasingly complex treatment sequences. A central theme of her work is the translation of evidence from clinical trials into routine clinical practice and the evaluation of treatment effectiveness in real-world populations.

Her research portfolio spans translational, clinical, and qualitative research. Current projects investigate extracellular vesicles to improve understanding of breast cancer biology, as well as broad genomic testing and circulating tumour DNA as tools to support treatment decisions. She is also involved in studies of patient-clinician communication and surgical innovation in breast cancer. In addition, she supervises oncology residents in scientific projects and publications.

Time to Meet: Communication in Cancer Care

This research project explores, using qualitative methods, how patients and healthcare professionals communicate about incurable cancer. The study includes interviews with both patients and healthcare professionals and has recently begun data collection. Participants include Karolina Larsson, Matilda Liljedahl, a patient representative, and other collaborators.
