A comparison of CT based measures of skeletal muscle mass and density from the Th4 and L3 levels in patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer
Grønberg, Bjørn Henning; Sjøblom, Bjørg; Wentzel-Larsen, Tore; Baracos, Vickie Elaine; Hjermstad, Marianne Jensen; Aass, Nina Kathrine; Bremnes, Roy M.; Fløtten, Øystein; Bye, Asta; Jordhøy, Marit Slaaen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Background: Muscle mass and density assessed from CT-images at the L3 level are prognostic for survival and predict toxicity in cancer patients. However, L3 is not always included on routine CT-scans. We aimed to investigate ... -
Associations between hematologic toxicity and health-related quality of life during first-line chemotherapy in advanced non-small-cell lung cancer: a pooled analysis of two randomized trials
Kristensen, Are Korsnes; Solheim, Tora Skeidsvoll; Fløtten, Øystein; Grønberg, Bjørn Henning (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Background: Many patients experience toxicity from chemotherapy that may negatively impact their health-related quality of life (HRQoL), but side effects often go undetected by health care personnel. Our aim was to investigate ... -
Comorbidity and outcomes of concurrent chemo- and radiotherapy in limited disease small cell lung cancer
Halvorsen, Tarje Onsøien; Sundstrøm, Stein Harald; Fløtten, Øystein; Brustugun, Odd Terje; Brunsvig, Paal Fr.; Aasebø, Ulf; Bremnes, Roy M.; Kaasa, Stein; Grønberg, Bjørn Henning (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Background: Many patients with limited disease small cell lung cancer (LD SCLC) suffer from comorbidity. Not all patients with comorbidity are offered standard treatment, though there is little evidence for such a policy. ... -
Muscle mass and association to quality of life in non-small cell lung cancer patients
Bye, Asta; Sjøblom, Bjørg; Wentzel-Larsen, Tore; Grønberg, Bjørn Henning; Baracos, Vickie E.; Hjermstad, Marianne Jensen; Aass, Nina Kathrine; Bremnes, Roy M.; Fløtten, Øystein; Jordhøy, Marit Slaaen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Background Cancer wasting is characterized by muscle loss and may contribute to fatigue and poor quality of life (QoL). Our aim was to investigate associations between skeletal muscle index (SMI) and skeletal muscle ... -
Randomized phase II trial comparing twice daily hyperfractionated with once daily hypofractionated thoracic radiotherapy in limited disease small cell lung cancer
Grønberg, Bjørn Henning; Halvorsen, Tarje Onsøien; Fløtten, Øystein; Brustugun, Odd Terje; Brunsvig, Paal Fr.; Aasebø, Ulf; Bremnes, Roy M.; Tollåli, Terje; Hornslien, Kjersti; Aksnessæther, Bjørg Y.; Liaaen, Erik Dyb; Sundstrøm, Stein Harald (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 ... -
Survival in Limited Disease Small Cell Lung Cancer According to N3 Lymph Node Involvement
Valan, Christine Damgaard; Slagsvold, Jens Erik; Halvorsen, Tarje Onsøien; Herje, Martin; Bremnes, Roy M.; Brunsvig, Paal Fr.; Brustugun, Odd Terje; Fløtten, Øystein; Levin, Nina; Sundstrøm, Stein Harald; Grønberg, Bjørn Henning (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Background/Aim: There are several definitions of limited disease (LD) in small cell lung cancer (SCLC), differing with respect to N3 disease accepted. We analyzed patients from a randomized trial comparing two schedules ... -
Tumour size reduction after the first chemotherapy-course and outcomes of chemoradiotherapy in limited disease small-cell lung cancer
Halvorsen, Tarje Onsøien; Herje, Martin; Levin, Nina; Bremnes, Roy M.; Brustugun, Odd Terje; Fløtten, Øystein; Kaasa, Stein; Sundstrøm, Stein Harald; Grønberg, Bjørn Henning (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Objectives Concurrent chemotherapy and thoracic radiotherapy (TRT) is recommended for limited disease small-cell lung cancer (LD SCLC). TRT should start as early as possible, often meaning with the second course due to ...
