• Association of smoking and cancer with the risk of venous thromboembolism: the Scandinavian Thrombosis and Cancer cohort 

      Paulsen, Benedikte; Gran, Olga Vikhammer; Severinsen, Marianne T.; Hammerstrøm, Jens; Kristensen, Søren Risom; Cannegieter, Suzanne C.; Skille, Hanne; Tjønneland, Anne; Rosendaal, Frits; Overvad, Kim; Næss, Inger Anne; Hansen, John-Bjarne; Brækkan, Sigrid K. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Smoking is a well-established risk factor for cancer, and cancer patients have a high risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). Conflicting results have been reported on the association between smoking and risk of VTE, and the ...
    • Combined effects of five prothrombotic genotypes and cancer on the risk of a first venous thromboembolic event 

      Skille, Hanne; Paulsen, Benedikte; Hveem, Kristian; Gabrielsen, Maiken Elvestad; Brumpton, Ben Michael; Hindberg, Kristian; Gran, Olga Vikhammer; Rosendaal, Frits Richard; Brækkan, Sigrid Kufaas; Hansen, John-Bjarne (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Background: The role of combined prothrombotic genotypes in cancer-related venous thromboembolism (VTE) is scarcely studied. We aimed to investigate the impact of a 5-single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) score on the risk ...
    • Fibrinogen gamma gene rs2066865 and risk of cancer-related venous thromboembolism 

      Paulsen, Benedikte; Skille, Hanne; Smith, Erin N.; Hveem, Kristian; Gabrielsen, Maiken Elvestad; Brækkan, Sigrid Kufaas; Rosendaal, Frits Richard; Frazer, Kelly A.; Gran, Olga Vikhammer; Hansen, John-Bjarne (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a frequent complication in patients with cancer. Homozygous carriers of the fibrinogen gamma gene (FGG) rs2066865 have a moderately increased risk of VTE, but the effect of the FGG variant ...
    • Genetic Variation Of Platelet Glycoprotein VI And The Risk Of Venous Thromboembolism 

      Skille, Hanne; Paulsen, Benedikte; Hveem, Kristian; Gabrielsen, Maiken Elvestad; Brumpton, Ben Michael; Hindberg, Kristian; Gran, Olga Vikhammer; Rosendaal, Frits Richard; Brækkan, Sigrid Kufaas; Hansen, John-Bjarne (Journal article, 2019)
    • Long-Term Incidence of Venous Thromboembolism in Cancer: The Scandinavian Thrombosis and Cancer Cohort 

      Gade, Inger Lise; Brækkan, Sigrid Kufaas; Næss, Inger Anne; Hansen, John-Bjarne; Cannegieter, Suzanne C.; Rosendaal, Frits Richard; Overvad, Kim; Hindberg, Kristian; Hammerstrøm, Jens; Gran, Olga Vikhammer; Tjønneland, Anne; Severinsen, Marianne T.; Kristensen, Søren R (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      The risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients who survive the first years after a cancer diagnosis after the acute effects of disease and treatment in comparison to a similar background population has been sparsely ...
