My research focuses on how to help patients with head- and neck cancer return to a normal lifestyle after treatment, with focus on nutritional problems.

I defended my thesis "Impact of disease and treatment on body weight and eating in patients with head and neck cancer – experiences from a multicenter study" in 2013. The main aim of the research was to study nutritional problems for patients with head and neck cancer with specific focus on the time after the termination of treatment.
