      Background and purpose We investigated how features relating to pelvic cavity anatomy and tumor hemodynamic factors may influence systemic failure in rectal cancer. Materials and methods Rectal cancer patients (207 ...
    • Systemic immune response induced by oxaliplatin-based neoadjuvant therapy favours survival without metastatic progression in high-risk rectal cancer 

      Kalanxhi, Ert; Meltzer, Sebastian; Schou, Jakob Vasehus; Larsen, Finn Ole; Dueland, Svein; Flatmark, Kjersti; Jensen, Benny Vittrup; Hole, Knut Håkon; Seierstad, Therese; Redalen, Kathrine; Nielsen, Dorte Lisbet; Ree, Anne Hansen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Background Systemic failure remains a challenge in rectal cancer. We investigated the possible systemic anti-tumour immune activity invoked within oxaliplatin-based neoadjuvant therapy. Methods In two high-risk patient ...
    • Uptake of circulating extracellular vesicles from rectal cancer patients and differential responses by human monocyte cultures 

      Bjørnetrø, Tonje; Steffensen, Lilly Alice; Vestad, Beate; Brusletto, Berit Sletbakk; Olstad, Ole Kristoffer; Siebke, Anne-Marie; Aass, Hans Christian Dalsbotten; Foss, Kari Bente; Llorente, Alicia; Bøe, Stig Ove; Lång, Anna Ulrika; Samiappan, Rampradeep; Redalen, Kathrine; Øvstebø, Reidun; Ree, Anne Hansen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Extracellular vesicles (EVs) released by tumor cells can directly or indirectly modulate the phenotype and function of the immune cells of the microenvironment locally or at distant sites. The uptake of circulating EVs and ...
