About

Cecilie E. Kiserud is a leading researcher in the field of cancer survivorship, with a particular focus on the long-term physical and psychosocial consequences of cancer treatment. Her work has been instrumental in bringing attention to sexual dysfunction and infertility as critical late effects, demonstrating that these issues affect at least half of patients treated for pelvic malignancies and over a quarter of those with other cancers. Her highly cited 2014 paper on this topic (228 citations) has helped shift clinical practice toward more proactive survivorship care. Kiserud’s research highlights the underlying mechanisms—damage to nerves, blood vessels, and hormonal systems—that drive these outcomes, providing a foundation for targeted interventions. Beyond this, she has contributed extensively to understanding how treatment-related toxicities impact quality of life, making her a key voice in the movement to integrate survivorship research into oncology. Her work continues to influence guidelines and patient support strategies, ensuring that long-term well-being remains a central priority in cancer care.
