Skåne University Hospital / Lund University Cancer Centre
Southern Sweden's university hospital and Lund University's cancer centre, known for the population-wide SCAN-B breast cancer sequencing project.
Also called: SUSLUCCLund University Cancer Centre
Overview
Skåne University Hospital in Lund and Malmö is the tertiary cancer centre for southern Sweden, and Lund University Cancer Centre coordinates research across its Medicon Village campus. Åke Borg and Lao Saal established the Sweden Cancerome Analysis Network-Breast (SCAN-B), which has sequenced the transcriptomes of breast cancers from consecutive patients across the region since 2010 and reports gene expression subtypes back into care, and Lund groups are strong in melanoma and prostate genomics, paediatric oncology and radiation physics linked to the MAX IV synchrotron. Lund also spun out antibody company BioInvent and hosts a Swedish node for CAR-T and haematological trials.

Breast imagingAI in mammography screeningScreening trials
Led MASAI, the first randomised trial of AI-supported mammography screening, which found more cancers with half the radiologist workload.

Comparison of SP142 and 22C3 PD-L1 assays in a population-based cohort of triple-negative breast cancer patients in the context of their clinically established scoring algorithms
This is the population-based prevalence for the two label thresholds in early TNBC, and it shows the KEYNOTE-355 CPS 10 gate would admit only about a quarter of unselected patients.

Whole-genome sequencing of triple-negative breast cancers in a population-based clinical study
It is the best population-based estimate of how much TNBC is homologous recombination deficient, shows that most of it is not germline BRCA, and argues that whole-genome sequencing at diagnosis could stratify trials and pick out the low group that needs something other than DNA-damaging chemotherapy.
