Associations between muscle measures, survival and toxicity in patients with limited disease small cell lung cancer receiving concurrent chemoradiotherapy
Halvorsen, Tarje Onsøien; Valan, Christine Damgaard; Jordhøy, Marit Slaaen; Grønberg, Bjørn Henning (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background Standard treatment for patients with limited stage small cell lung cancer (LS SCLC) is concurrent platinum– etoposide chemotherapy and thoracic radiotherapy (TRT). Up to 30% of patients are cured, but severe ... -
Associations between severe co-morbidity and muscle measures in advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients
Grønberg, Bjørn Henning; Valan, Christine Damgaard; Halvorsen, Tarje Onsøien; Sjøblom, Bjørg; Jordhøy, Marit Slaaen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Introduction Several studies show that low skeletal muscle index (SMI) and low skeletal muscle density (SMD) are negative prognostic factors and associated with more toxicity from systemic therapy in cancer patients. ... -
Changes in muscle measures during chemoradiotherapy in patients with limited stage small cell lung cancer
Valan, Christine Damgaard; Halvorsen, Tarje Onsøien; Jordhøy, Marit Slaaen; Grønberg, Bjørn Henning (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background: Concurrent chemoradiotherapy is the recommended treatment for limited stage small cell lung cancer. Severe side‐effects, which might cause loss of muscle mass, are frequent. Low skeletal muscle index (SMI) and ... -
Prognostic and predictive factors in limited disease small-cell lung cancer
Valan, Christine Damgaard (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2020:203, Doctoral thesis, 2020)Lung cancer is the most common type of cancer and the leading cause of cancer related deaths. Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is one of two main types of lung cancer. Concurrent chemoradiotherapy is recommended for SCLC if ... -
Survival in Limited Disease Small Cell Lung Cancer According to N3 Lymph Node Involvement
Valan, Christine Damgaard; Slagsvold, Jens Erik; Halvorsen, Tarje Onsøien; Herje, Martin; Bremnes, Roy M.; Brunsvig, Paal Fr.; Brustugun, Odd Terje; Fløtten, Øystein; Levin, Nina; Sundstrøm, Stein Harald; Grønberg, Bjørn Henning (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Background/Aim: There are several definitions of limited disease (LD) in small cell lung cancer (SCLC), differing with respect to N3 disease accepted. We analyzed patients from a randomized trial comparing two schedules ...
