Jana de Boniface

Jana de Boniface is a Research Professor at Karolinska Institutet within the Department of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics. She leads a research group focused on optimizing breast cancer surgery through clinical trials and registry studies. Her work aims to de-escalate surgical interventions, minimize adverse effects on quality of life, and maintain oncological safety.

Research Focus: Her primary interests include axillary surgery de-escalation (e.g., SENOMAC trial), targeted lymph node techniques (AXSANA study), exercise interventions during neoadjuvant therapy (Neo-ACT trial), and breast reconstruction outcomes. She emphasizes patient-reported outcomes and international collaboration across Europe.

Publication Trends: Recent articles (2024–2025) predominantly explore axillary management refinements, breast reconstruction complications, treatment strategies for triple-negative breast cancer in elderly patients, and standardization of outcome reporting in clinical trials. A strong emphasis is placed on surgical de-escalation, precision techniques, and quality-of-life metrics.

Collaborations & Leadership: She coordinates multinational studies like SENOMAC and AXSANA, collaborating with epidemiologists, oncologists, and radiologists. Her group investigates radiotherapy impacts, marker localization technologies, and patient experiences post-surgery.
