Katerina Karaindrou is a medical student at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Research Fellow at the Johns Hopkins Molecular Tumor Board with translational research experience in cancer genomics, member of the Euro Ewing Consortium PA group, Sports Excellence Ambassador, author of Brave in the Broken, and most recently a para-triathlete.
After Ewing sarcoma and limb salvage with a tibial modular endoprosthesis, she returned not only to movement, but to competitive sport in a space where it was never meant to exist. Today, she is the only athlete in the world competing standing with an oncologic endoprosthesis. From the operating room to the start line, her goal is the same: to transform outcomes for sarcoma patients not only through precision oncology and surgical innovation but also the lived experience that survival can still mean power, performance, and possibility—not just saving the leg but expanding what life after cancer and limb salvage can be.
