In this prospective ... -
Is the anatomical distribution of low-grade gliomas linked to regions of gliogenesis?
Skjulsvik, Anne Jarstein; Bø, Hans Kristian; Jakola, Asgeir S; Berntsen, Erik Magnus; Bø, Lars Eirik; Reinertsen, Ingerid; Myrmel, Kristin Smistad; Sjåvik, Kristin; Åberg, Kristin; Berg, Thomas; Hong, Yan Dai; Kloster, Roar; Torp, Sverre Helge; Solheim, Ole (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Introduction According to the stem cell theory, two neurogenic niches in the adult human brain may harbor cells that initiate the formation of gliomas: The larger subventricular zone (SVZ) and the subgranular zone (SGZ) ... -
Low Grade Gliomas in Eloquent Locations – Implications for Surgical Strategy, Survival and Long Term Quality of Life
Jakola, Asgeir S; Unsgård, Geirmund; Myrmel, Kristin Smistad; Kloster, Roar; Torp, Sverre Helge; Lindal, Sigurd; Solheim, Ole (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)Background: Surgical management of suspected LGG remains controversial. A key factor when deciding a surgical strategy is often the tumors’ perceived relationship to eloquent brain regions Objective: To study the association ... -
On the prognostic factors of low-grade gliomas
Skjulsvik, Anne Jarstein (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2020:139, Doctoral thesis, 2020)Hjernesvulsters egenskaper i forløpet ved hjernekreft Gliomer er den vanligste typen av primære maligne hjernesvulster og disse rammer ca. 6 personer per 100 000 per år. Gliomer graderes ved mikroskopisk cellebilde og ... -
