Overview

Pål Møller is affiliated with the Oslo University Hospital in Norway and has contributed extensively to the fields of medicine, particularly focusing on genetics and oncology. Their research integrates biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology with clinical applications in cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Their work spans several subfields, notably pathology and forensic medicine, genetics, cancer research, oncology, and reproductive medicine. This multidisciplinary approach supports investigations into the genetic factors influencing colorectal and ovarian cancers.

Main research topics include:

  • Genetic factors in colorectal cancer
  • BRCA gene mutations in cancer
  • Cancer genomics and diagnostics
  • Ovarian cancer diagnosis and treatment
  • Colorectal cancer screening and detection
  • Colorectal and anal carcinomas
  • Nutrition, genetics, and disease

Møller's publication record features articles in several prominent journals, with recent papers including:

  • European guidelines from the EHTG and ESCP for Lynch syndrome: an updated third edition of the Mallorca guidelines based on gene and gender, 2020, British Journal of Surgery
  • Delphi Initiative for Early-Onset Colorectal Cancer (DIRECt) International Management Guidelines, 2022, Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology
  • The "unnatural" history of colorectal cancer in Lynch syndrome: Lessons from colonoscopy surveillance, 2020, International Journal of Cancer
  • The Prospective Lynch Syndrome Database reports enable evidence-based personal precision health care, 2020, Hereditary Cancer in Clinical Practice
  • Colorectal cancer incidences in Lynch syndrome: a comparison of results from the prospective lynch syndrome database and the international mismatch repair consortium, 2022, Hereditary Cancer in Clinical Practice

Frequently publishing in venues such as Hereditary Cancer in Clinical Practice, Genetics in Medicine, International Journal of Cancer, Familial Cancer, and Journal of Clinical Medicine, Møller consistently contributes to scholarly knowledge on hereditary cancers and their clinical management.

Frequent collaborators include:

  • Mev Dominguez-Valentin
  • Jan Lubiński
  • Toni T. Seppälä
  • William D. Foulkes
  • Joanne Kotsopoulos

Møller's research is situated at the intersection of clinical practice and molecular genetics, with a focus on advancing the understanding of hereditary cancer syndromes such as Lynch syndrome and improving personalized approaches to cancer care.
