Postoperative neoadjuvant temozolomide before radiotherapy versus standard radiotherapy in patients 60 years or younger with anaplastic astrocytoma or glioblastoma: a randomized trial
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Introduction: A pilot study of temozolomide (TMZ) given before radiotherapy (RT) for anaplastic astrocytoma (AA) and glioblastoma (GBM) resulted in prolonged survival compared to historical controls receiving RT alone. We ... -
Randomized phase II trial comparing twice daily hyperfractionated with once daily hypofractionated thoracic radiotherapy in limited disease small cell lung cancer
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Background: Concurrent chemotherapy and thoracic radiotherapy (TRT) is recommended for limited disease small cell lung cancer (LD SCLC). Twice daily TRT is well documented, but not universally implemented – probably mainly ... -
Randomized phase III trial comparing switch-maintenance pemetrexed with observation followed by pemetrexed at progression in advanced NSCLC
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Objectives: Two phase III trials show that maintenance pemetrexed therapy after platinum-doublet chemotherapy prolongs overall survival (OS) and progression free survival (PFS) in advanced non-squamous non-small-cell lung ... -
Re-irradiation for recurrent rectal cancer – a single-center experience
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background: There is no clear consensus on the use of re-irradiation (reRT) in the management of locally recurrent rectal cancer (LRRC). The aim of the present study was to investigate all reRT administered for rectal ... -
Second cancers in radically treated Norwegian prostate cancer patients

Sexual functioning, sexual enjoyment, and body image in Norwegian breast cancer survivors: a 12-year longitudinal follow-up study and comparison with the general female population
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Background Given the scarcity of evidence concerning the long-term sexual health of breast cancer (BC) survivors (BC-Pop), we aimed to assess how BC treatments affect short- and long-term sexual functioning, sexual ... -
Surgery for brain metastases – real-world prognostic factors’ association with survival
(Journal article, 2021)Background Surgical resection of brain metastases (BM) improves overall survival (OS) in selected patients. Selecting those patients likely to benefit from surgery is challenging. The Graded Prognostic Assessment (GPA) ... -
Survivors' knowledge of their diagnosis, treatment and possible late adverse effects after autologous stem cell transplantation for lymphoma
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Purpose: Lymphoma survivors after high dose therapy with autologous stem cell therapy (HD-ASCT) are at high risk for late adverse effects (AEs). Information patients receive and collect throughout their cancer trajectory ... -
Terminal digit preference: a source of measurement error in breast cancer diameter reporting
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Objectives: Women diagnosed with breast cancer are offered treatment and therapy based on tumor characteristics, including tumor diameter. There is scarce knowledge whether tumor diameter is accurately reported, or whether ... -
Thyroid hypofunction in aging testicular cancer survivors
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Purpose Thyroid hypofunction is a late effect observed in several groups of cancer survivors, but has to date not been evaluated in-depth in testicular cancer survivors (TCSs). We investigated the prevalence of thyroid ... -
