Lisa Kastbom

Associate Professor

I am a practicing medical doctor (general practitioner; GP) and senior lecturer at the Department of Health, Medicine and Caring Sciences (HMV).

Presentation

I defended my thesis "A good death from the perspective of patients with severe illness and advance care planning (ACP) in patients near end-of-life" in 2021. My postdoc research has broadened and focuses mainly on older people’s health, cancer and palliative medicine, but also cardiovascular disease, alcohol related disease and Primary Care Behavioral Health, (PCBH). Teaching medical students and physicians, and supervising PhD-students are parts of my daily work.

Within the neuro-oncological field, I am part of a research group studying treatment with tumour treating fields (TTFields) for patients with glioblastoma (GBM), regarding experiences of those involved in the treatment, namely: patients, next of kin, physicians and staff from the private company providing the device in Sweden. Since 2023, I am the principal investigator of the Swedish national Swedish research project BRAVE – Brain Tumor Related Aggression and Violence Exposure, aiming to improve detection and support of next of kin who are exposed to violence caused by personality changes in brain tumor patients. A subsequent aim is to develop and evaluate an intervention.
