Clinical Interests
Hanne M. Jensen is responsible for obtaining, storing, testing, and matching blood used at UC
Davis Medical Center. She evaluates patients and recommends blood products, including special
blood needs required by patients with bone marrow stem cell transplants or antibody problems.
She also monitors patients, evaluates laboratory data to catch and correct any adverse transfusion
reactions, and assists with difficult surgical transfusions. Jensen writes protocol for transfusion and
blood banking procedures at the medical center, and provides orientation to residents from all
clinical areas. With special interests in preneoplasia of the human breast and prostate, she
conducted research in anatomic pathology, breast physiology, angiogenesis and hormone
receptors. She also has investigated breast cancer risk factors, ultrasound imaging of breast tissue,
use of ultrasound scattering analyses to identify women at risk for later invasive cancer, and
potentially precancerous lesions to human mammary carcinoma.
