      Background: Because birth size appears to be positively associated with breast cancer risk, we have studied whether this risk may differ according to molecular breast cancer subtypes. Methods: A cohort of 22,931 women born ...
    • Established and novel methods and biomarkers in breast cancer 

      Skjervold, Anette Hansen (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2024:80, Doctoral thesis, 2024)
      The present thesis is based on three published papers. The work arises from three cohorts of women from Trøndelag county in Norway. These were women born between 1886 and 1977, that were diagnosed with breast cancer (BC). ...
    • PAK1 copy number in breast cancer—Associations with proliferation and molecular subtypes 

      Skjervold, Anette Hansen; Valla, Marit; Ytterhus, Borgny; Bofin, Anna M. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Introduction P21-activated kinase 1 (PAK1) is known to be overexpressed in several human tumour types, including breast cancer (BC). It is located on chromosome 11 (11q13.5-q14.1) and plays a significant role in proliferation ...
    • PD-L1 Protein Expression in Breast Cancer 

      Saastad, Sigurd August; Skjervold, Anette Hansen; Ytterhus, Borgny; Engstrøm, Monica Jernberg; Bofin, Anna Mary (Master thesis, 2023)
      Tumorcellers evne til å unngå destruksjon av immunforsvaret, har blitt foreslått som et av de nye kjennetegnene til kreft av Hanahan og Weinberg i 2011. Både T-celler, B-celler, makrofager, polymorfonukleære celler, naturlige ...
    • Visual and digital assessment of Ki-67 in breast cancer tissue - a comparison of methods 

      Skjervold, Anette Hansen; Pettersen, Henrik P Sahlin; Valla, Marit; Opdahl, Signe; Bofin, Anna Mary (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Background In breast cancer (BC) Ki-67 cut-off levels, counting methods and inter- and intraobserver variation are still unresolved. To reduce inter-laboratory differences, it has been proposed that cut-off levels for ...
