معرفی
Irma Fredriksson is an active researcher affiliated with the Department of Molecular Medicine and Surgery at Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden, holding her current position from 2024 to 2027. She leads the Breast Surgery research group at MMK, focusing on patient-oriented clinical studies in breast cancer surgery, epidemiological analyses using Swedish national registries, and translational research bridging laboratory findings with clinical practice.
Her academic credentials include:
- Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), Department of Clinical Science and Education, Södersjukhuset, Karolinska Institutet (2002)
- University Medical Degree, Karolinska Institutet (1991)
Fredriksson's research centers on breast cancer epidemiology and surgical outcomes, with major themes including pregnancy-associated breast cancer, ductal carcinoma in situ progression, vacuum-assisted excision optimization, and biomarker-driven treatment efficacy. Her work consistently leverages Sweden's comprehensive cancer registries for large-scale population-based studies, emphasizing real-world data on age-specific mortality, surgical complications, and healthcare utilization patterns.
Analysis of her 15 most recent publications (2024-2025) reveals three dominant trends: pregnancy-cancer interactions (6 studies on maternal/fetal outcomes), surgical technique refinement (3 trials on vacuum-excised lesions and axillary procedures), and biomarker epidemiology (4 studies on HER2/ER subtypes and immune infiltrates). She prioritizes registry-based designs and contributes to AI-driven screening protocols like ScreenTrustMRI.

Advising and grants:
While no doctoral students or specific grant awards are listed, her leadership in multi-institutional trials (e.g., Swedish VAE, ScreenTrustMRI) indicates active collaboration on major funded projects. She co-developed Breast Cancer Data Base Sweden 2.0 (BCBaSe 2.0), suggesting involvement in infrastructure grants.
Labs and teams:
She directs the Breast Surgery research group at Karolinska University Hospital (Elite Hotell, Solna), working within the Department of Molecular Medicine and Surgery. The team specializes in registry epidemiology, surgical outcome analysis, and translational studies involving tissue biobanking, with ongoing projects on vacuum-assisted excision, pregnancy-related cancer, and biomarker validation.
