Pediatric ENT Research Group

​The group is part of the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, and Audiology, and investigate various aspects of pediatric ENT disease including head and neck cancer, benign head and neck tumors, congenital malformations and surgical procedures. 

Main medical speciality: Otorhinolaryngology

Main research areas

  • Pediatric head and neck cancer:
    Head and neck cancer among children constitutes several subtypes, where some are rare with only a few cases every other year. The most common are thyroid and salivary gland cancer, with around 10 cases a year in Denmark.

    Our research in this field includes investigation of incidence and trends, survival, and factors associated with better or worse survival
     
  • Benign pediatric head and neck tumors and congenital malformations: 
    Vascular and lymphatic malformations, and structural upper airway diseases are fairly common among children in Denmark.

    We investigate incidence and trends of the specific conditions and the surgical procedures treating the conditions, as well as new surgical techniques.
