• 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)
    • Prothrombotic genotypes and risk of venous thromboembolism in occult cancer 

      Skille, Hanne; Paulsen, Benedikte; Hveem, Kristian; Severinsen, Marianne T.; Gabrielsen, Maiken Elvestad; Kristensen, Søren R.; Næss, Inger Anne; Hindberg, Kristian; Tjønneland, Anne; Brækkan, Sigrid Kufaas; Hansen, John-Bjarne (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Background Studies have reported that the combination of some prothrombotic genotypes and overt cancer yields a synergistic effect on VTE risk. Whether individual prothrombotic genotypes or number of risk alleles in a ...
    • Survival after cancer-related venous thrombosis: the Scandinavian Thrombosis and Cancer Study 

      Crobach, Monique J.T.; Anijs, Rayna J.S.; Brækkan, Sigrid Kufaas; Severinsen, Marianne T.; Hammerstrøm, Jens; Skille, Hanne; Kristensen, Søren R.; Paulsen, Benedikte; Tjønneland, Anne; Versteeg, Henri H.; Overvad, Kim; Hansen, John Bjarne; Næss, Inger Anne; Cannegieter, Suzanne C. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Patients with cancer have an increased risk of developing venous thromboembolism (VTE), and this combination is reported to result in poorer survival compared with cancer alone. This study aimed to investigate the impact ...
