Mie Sara Hestbech is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Research Unit for General Practice within the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences at the University of Copenhagen. Her work focuses on cancer screening programs and their psychosocial implications for patients.
Her research interests center on cancer screening, particularly examining the psychosocial consequences of colorectal, cervical, and lung cancer screening programs. She investigates how information is communicated to patients, the impact of HPV vaccination on screening behaviors, and whether screening invitations provide sufficient information for informed decision making. Her work bridges public health, behavioral science, and clinical practice to improve cancer prevention strategies.
Analysis of her publication record shows a consistent focus on patient-centered outcomes in cancer screening. Her research demonstrates how screening invitations affect patient decision-making, the psychological impact of being invited to screening programs, and how HPV vaccination status influences women's perceptions of cancer risk and screening participation. Much of her work employs robust methodologies including randomized controlled trials, cohort studies, and simulation modeling.
Her research has been referenced in policy sources, picked up by news outlets, and shared across academic platforms including Mendeley, with substantial readership indicating impact in her field.
Dr. Hestbech frequently collaborates with researchers including Brodersen, Siersma, and Bang, suggesting strong research networks within the University of Copenhagen's public health community. Her work contributes significantly to understanding how to optimize cancer screening programs from the patient perspective.
