Associate Professor Ane Gerda Eriksson is a senior consultant at the Department of gynecologic cancer and head of the endometrial cancer and gynecologic sarcoma team at the Norwegian Radium Hospital, Oslo University Hospital.

Dr Eriksson received her Medical Degree from the Medical University of Warsaw in Poland and completed residency training at Oslo University Hospital in Norway. She then completed fellowship in Gynecologic Oncology at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Centre, New York, in 2015, and has since returned to the department of Gynecologic Oncology at the Norwegian Radium Hospital where she provides surgical and medical treatment for women with gynecologic malignancies.

Her principal area of clinical practice is advanced minimal invasive surgery for gynecologic cancers and radical procedures for advanced ovarian cancer. She holds a special interest in surgical education. She is an invited international speaker and educator, and is the founder and chair of the Advanced course in cytoreductive surgery for ovarian cancer organized at Oslo University Hospital. Dr Eriksson also chairs the bi-annual Tropè meetings in our department and is an OncoAlert faculty.

Ane Gerda Eriksson defended her PhD on “Sentinel lymph nodes in endometrial carcinoma -Mapping, diagnostic accuracy and oncologic outcome” in 2018, and completed The Global Clinical Scholars Research Training Program at Harvard Medical School to further gain experience in design and implementation of clinical trials. Dr. Eriksson has a strong interest in clinical research. She takes part in ongoing collaborative trials at the Norwegian Radium Hospital and is a member of the Clinical Trials Unit of the Nordic Society of Gynecologic Oncology where she is the NSGO principal investigator/coordinator for the SENTICOL III trial. Dr. Eriksson has attracted competitive external funding from the Sister Institution Fund in collaboration with MD Andersen, and supervises master and PhD students at the University of Oslo, OSLOMET and NTNU. In her previous role as social media editor for the International Journal of Gynecologic Cancer she mentored numerous international editorial fellows. She is currently a mentor in the European Society of Gynecologic Oncology (ESGO) gender equity program.

Dr Eriksson holds a special interest in image-guided surgery as well as molecular markers in endometrial cancer. She is currently investigating the implementation of sentinel lymph node biopsy in the South Western health region in Norway and has recently initiated a study exploring outcomes after fertility preservation in women with early stage cervical cancer and dysplasia. Dr Eriksson is an active member of several national and international societies. She is currently a Council Member of ESGO when she Chairs the Guidelines Committee.
