About

Lars Holmberg is a leading epidemiologist and urological cancer researcher whose work has fundamentally shaped our understanding of surgical outcomes in prostate and bladder cancer. His research centers on comparative effectiveness, health economics, and the real-world consequences of surgical interventions, particularly the trade-offs between robot-assisted and open procedures. Holmberg’s landmark 2010 study on inguinal hernia after radical prostatectomy, with 91 citations, provided critical evidence from both randomized and non-randomized settings, establishing a previously underappreciated long-term complication. He further advanced the field by demonstrating that robot-assisted surgery reduces work disability compared to open surgery, a finding with profound implications for patient quality of life and societal costs. As the architect of the Bladder Cancer Data Base Sweden (BladderBaSe) 2.0, Holmberg created an invaluable nationwide resource enabling comprehensive studies on incidence, treatment outcomes, and survival. His recent work comparing short-term outcomes after robot-assisted versus open cystectomy, alongside analyses of incisional hernia risk, continues to inform clinical decision-making. With over 140 cumulative citations across his most influential papers, Holmberg’s population-based approach has set new standards for evidence-based urological surgery.
