I. Soerjomataram

I. Soerjomataram is a cancer epidemiologist at the Division of Cancer Epidemiology within the Faculty of Medicine at Heidelberg University, affiliated with the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ). With numerous publications spanning from 2016 to 2025, Dr. Soerjomataram has established expertise in large-scale cancer burden assessment and risk factor analysis across European populations.

Dr. Soerjomataram's research focuses on quantifying preventable cancer cases, particularly examining how obesity, body fat distribution, and tobacco use influence cancer incidence and survival outcomes. Their work frequently employs data from large European cohort studies and consortia, including the CHANCES consortium, to investigate relationships between metabolic factors and site-specific cancers such as colorectal and breast cancer. A significant portion of their research examines how cumulative exposure to risk factors like obesity over the lifespan affects cancer development and outcomes.

The publication record demonstrates consistent contributions to understanding tobacco-related cancers in Europe and developing methodologies for cancer burden assessment. Recent work continues to explore the complex relationships between metabolic health and cancer outcomes through sophisticated epidemiological approaches.

Dr. Soerjomataram's research output shows strong collaboration with international cancer research teams across Europe, contributing to major studies published in high-impact journals including European Journal of Cancer, British Journal of Cancer, and Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
