Biography
Cæcilie Borregaard Myrhøj is a physician and researcher at Rigshospitalet whose work focuses on cancer care, palliative medicine, and communication in serious illness. Her research investigates how conversations between healthcare professionals, patients, and families can improve decision-making, quality of life, and care for people with advanced cancer.
A central theme in her work is the role of early discussions about prognosis, treatment preferences, and end-of-life care. By combining clinical research with patient-reported outcomes and healthcare data, she studies how communication influences patient experiences and healthcare delivery. Her work aims to ensure that treatment and care better reflect patients’ values and wishes throughout serious illness.
By linking oncology, palliative care, and health services research, Myrhøj’s research contributes to more patient-centred cancer care and improved support for patients and families facing difficult medical decisions.
