Cognitive Trajectories in Older Patients with Cancer Undergoing Radiotherapy—A Prospective Observational Study
Eriksen, Guro Falk; Saltyte Benth, Jurate; Grønberg, Bjørn Henning; Rostoft, Siri; Kirkevold, Øyvind; Bergh, Sverre; Hjelstuen, Anne Kristine; Rolfson, Darryl; Jordhøy, Marit Slaaen (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Cognitive function can be affected by cancer and/or its treatment, and older patients are at a particular risk. In a prospective observational study including patients ≥65 years referred for radiotherapy (RT), we aimed to ... -
CT Derived Muscle Measures, Inflammation, and Frailty in a Cohort of Older Cancer Patients
Harneshaug, Magnus; Saltyte Benth, Jurate; Kirkhus, Lene; Grønberg, Bjørn Henning; Bergh, Sverre; Rostoft, Siri; Jordhøy, Marit Slaaen (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background/Aim: Muscle loss, inflammation, and frailty are prevalent among older cancer patients. We aimed to evaluate whether inflammatory markers could identify muscle loss, and if muscle measures differed between frail ... -
Edmonton Frail Scale predicts mortality in older patients with cancer undergoing radiotherapy-A prospective observational study
Røyset, Inga Marie; Eriksen, Guro Falk; Saltyte Benth, Jurate; Saltvedt, Ingvild Tina; Grønberg, Bjørn Henning; Rostoft, Siri; Kirkevold, Øyvind; Rolfson, Darryl; Jordhøy, Marit Slaaen (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Background: Several screening tools are developed to identify frailty in the increasing number of older patients with cancer. Edmonton Frail Scale (EFS) performs well in geriatric settings but is less studied in oncology. ... -
Frailty identified by geriatric assessment is associated with poor functioning, high symptom burden and increased risk of physical decline in older cancer patients: Prospective observational study
Kirkhus, Lene; Saltyte Benth, Jurate; Grønberg, Bjørn Henning; Hjermstad, Marianne Jensen; Rostoft, Siri; Harneshaug, Magnus; Selbæk, Geir; Wyller, Torgeir Bruun; Jordhøy, Marit Slaaen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Background: Maintaining quality of life including physical functioning is highly prioritized among older cancer patients. Geriatric assessment is a recommended approach to identify patients with increased vulnerability ... -
Geriatric assessment with management for older patients with cancer receiving radiotherapy. Protocol of a Norwegian cluster-randomised controlled pilot study
Røyset, Inga Marie; Saltvedt, Ingvild; Rostoft, Siri; Grønberg, Bjørn Henning; Kirkevold, Øyvind; Oldervoll, Line Merethe; Bye, Asta; Saltyte Benth, Jurate; Bergh, Sverre; Melby, Line; Halsteinli, Vidar; Døhl, Øystein; Røsstad, Tove Garåsen; Eriksen, Guro Falk; Sollid, May Ingvild Volungholen; Rolfson, Darryl; Jordhøy, Marit Slaaen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)About 50% of patients with cancer are expected to need radiotherapy (RT), and the majority of these are older. To improve outcomes for older patients with cancer, geriatric assessment (GA) with management (GAM) is highly ... -
Geriatric impairments are associated with reduced quality of life and physical function in older patients with cancer receiving radiotherapy - A prospective observational study
Eriksen, Guro Falk; Saltyte Benth, Jurate; Grønberg, Bjørn Henning; Rostoft, Siri; Kirkhus, Lene; Kirkevold, Øyvind; Oldervoll, Line Merethe; Bye, Asta; Hjelstuen, Anne Kristine; Jordhøy, Marit Slaaen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Introduction: Quality of life (QoL) and function are important outcomes for older adults with cancer. We aimed to assess differences in trends in patient-reported outcomes (PROs) during radiotherapy (RT) between (1) groups ... -
Is Frailty Index a better predictor than pre-stroke modified Rankin Scale for neurocognitive outcomes 3-months post-stroke?
