      Venizelos, Andreas; Sorbye, Halfdan; Elvebakken, Hege; Perren, Aurel; Lothe, Inger Marie Bowitz; Couvelard, Anne; Hjortland, Geir Olav; Sundlöv, Anna; Svensson, Johanna; Garresori, Herish; Kersten, Christian; Hofsli, Eva; Detlefsen, Sönke; Vestermark, Lene W.; Ladekarl, Morten; Tabaksblat, Elizaveta Mitkina; Knappskog, Stian (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      High-grade gastroenteropancreatic (HG-GEP) neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are highly aggressive cancers. The molecular etiology of these tumors remains unclear, and the prevalence of pathogenic germline variants in patients ...
    • Health-related quality of life in patients with advanced melanoma treated with ipilimumab: prognostic implications and changes during treatment 

      Aamdal, Elin; Skovlund, Eva; Jacobsen, Kari Dolven; Straume, Oddbjørn; Kersten, Christian; Herlofsen, Oluf; Karlsen, Jarle; Hussain, Israr; Amundsen, Anita; Dalhaug, Astrid; Nyakas, Marta Sølvi; Hagene, Kirsten Thorin; Holmsen, Kjersti; Aamdal, Steinar; Kaasa, Stein; Guren, Tormod Kyrre; Kyte, Jon A (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Background We have previously reported that the safety and efficacy of ipilimumab in real-world patients with metastatic melanoma were comparable to clinical trials. Few studies have explored health-related quality of ...
    • Ipilimumab in a real-world population: A prospective Phase IV trial with long-term follow-up 

      Aamdal, Elin; Jacobsen, Kari Dolven; Straume, Oddbjørn; Kersten, Christian; Herlofsen, Oluf; Karlsen, Jarle; Hussain, Israr; Amundsen, Anita; Dalhaug, Astrid; Nyakas, Marta Sølvi; Schuster, Cornelia; Hagene, Kirsten Thorin; Holmsen, Kjersti; Russnes, Hege Elisabeth Giercksky; Skovlund, Eva; Kaasa, Stein; Aamdal, Steinar; Kyte, Jon A.; Guren, Tormod Kyrre (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Ipilimumab was the first treatment that improved survival in advanced melanoma. Efficacy and toxicity in a real-world setting may differ from clinical trials, due to more liberal eligibility criteria and less intensive ...
    • The molecular characteristics of high-grade gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms 

      Venizelos, Andreas; Elvebakken, Hege; Perren, Aurel; Nikolaienko, Oleksii; Deng, Wei; Lothe, Inger Marie Bowitz; Couvelard, Anne; Hjortland, Geir Olav; Sundlöv, Anna; Svensson, Johanna; Garresori, Herish; Kersten, Christian; Hofsli, Eva; Detlefsen, Sönke; Krogh, Merete; Sørbye, Halfdan; Knappskog, Stian (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      High-grade (HG) gastroenteropancreatic (GEP) neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN) are rare but have a very poor prognosis and represent a severely understudied class of tumours. Molecular data for HG GEP-NEN are limited, and ...
    • Mutation Spectrum in Liquid Versus Solid Biopsies From Patients With Advanced astroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Carcinoma 

      Knappskog, Stian; Grob, Tobias; Venizelos, Andreas; Amstutz, Ursula; Hjortland, Geir Olav; Lothe, Inger Marie Bowitz; Kersten, Christian; Hofsli, Eva; Sundlöv, Anna; Elvebakken, Hege; Garresori, Herish; Couvelard, Anne; Svensson, Johanna; Sorbye, Halfdan; Perren, Aurel (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Purpose Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine carcinomas (GEP-NEC) are rare and have a poor prognosis. Most GEP-NEC are diagnosed with metastatic disease, with only minor biopsies available for molecular diagnostics. We ...
    • Next-generation sequencing reveals mitogenome diversity in plasma extracellular vesicles from colorectal cancer patients 

      Bjørnetrø, Tonje; Bousquet, Paula; Redalen, Kathrine Røe; Siebke, Anne-Marie; Lüders, Torben; Stang, Espen; Sanabria-Moreno, Adriana Maria; Johansen, Christin; Fuglestad, Anniken Jørlo; Kersten, Christian; Meltzer, Sebastian; Ree, Anne Hansen (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Background Recent reports have demonstrated that the entire mitochondrial genome can be secreted in extracellular vesicles (EVs), but the biological attributes of this cell-free mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) remain ...
    • Sex-related differences in primary metastatic site in rectal cancer; associated with hemodynamic factors?
