Analysis of Intra-Tumoral Macrophages and T Cells in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Indicates a Role for Immune Checkpoint and CD200-CD200R Interactions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide, accounting for nearly one-fifth of all cancer-related deaths. Immunotherapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors has become one of the most promising approaches ... -
Antibiotic Therapy in Integrated Oncology and Palliative Cancer Care: An Observational Study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Simple Summary Approximately one-quarter of the patients with advanced cancer acutely admitted to the Palliative Care Unit at St. Olav’s University Hospital received intravenous antibiotics. We observed that physiological ... -
ATX-101, a Peptide Targeting PCNA, Has Antitumor Efficacy Alone or in Combination with Radiotherapy in Murine Models of Human Glioblastoma
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Cell proliferation requires the orchestrated actions of a myriad of proteins regulating DNA replication, DNA repair and damage tolerance, and cell cycle. Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) is a master regulator which ... -
Chemical, Physical and Biological Triggers of Evolutionary Sonserved Bcl-xL-Mediated Apoptosis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background: The evidence that pan-Bcl-2 or Bcl-xL-specific inhibitors prematurely kill virus-infected or RNA/DNA-transfected cells provides rationale for investigating these apoptotic inducers further. We hypothesized that ... -
A Comparative Analysis of Orthotopic and Subcutaneous Pancreatic Tumour Models: Tumour Microenvironment and Drug Delivery
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains a challenging malignancy, mainly due to its resistance to chemotherapy and its complex tumour microenvironment characterised by stromal desmoplasia. There is a need for new ... -
Decision Tree Analyses for Prediction of QoL over a One-Year Period in Breast Cancer Patients: An Added Value of Patient-Reported Outcomes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Despite the current shift in medicine towards patient-centered care, clinicians rarely utilize patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in everyday practice. We examined the predictors of quality- of-life (QoL) trajectories in ... -
Deterioration in Muscle Mass and Physical Function Differs According to Weight loss History in Cancer Cachexia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Background: Muscle mass and physical function (PF) are common co-primary endpoints in cancer cachexia trials, but there is a lack of data on how these outcomes interact over time. The aim of this secondary analysis of data ... -
Divulging a Pleiotropic Role of Succinate Receptor SUCNR1 in Renal Cell Carcinoma Microenvironment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The succinate receptor, SUCNR1, has been attributed to tumor progression, metastasis, and immune response modulation upon its activation via the oncometabolite succinate. Nonetheless, little is known about the prognostic ... -
Effectiveness of Opioid Switching in Advanced Cancer Pain: A Prospective Observational Cohort Study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Opioid switching is a common practice of substituting one opioid for another to improve analgesia or adverse effects; however, it has limited evidence. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of opioid switching in ... -
Gastric Cancers Missed at Upper Endoscopy in Central Norway 2007 to 2016—a Population-Based Study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Simple summary: Stomach cancer may be missed during upper endoscopy. We have examined how often this occurs and identified factors associated with missed cancers. Among 730 patients with gastric cancer, 67 (9.2%) were ... -
Glioblastoma Surgery Imaging-Reporting and Data System: Validation and Performance of the Automated Segmentation Task
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)For patients with presumed glioblastoma, essential tumor characteristics are determined from preoperative MR images to optimize the treatment strategy. This procedure is time-consuming and subjective, if performed by crude ... -
Glioblastoma Surgery Imaging—Reporting and Data System: Standardized Reporting of Tumor Volume, Location, and Resectability Based on Automated Segmentations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Treatment decisions for patients with presumed glioblastoma are based on tumor characteristics available from a preoperative MR scan. Tumor characteristics, including volume, location, and resectability, are often estimated ... -
International e-Delphi Consensus Recommendations for the Assessment and Diagnosis of Circadian rest–Activity Rhythm Disorders (CARDs) in Patients with Cancer
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Purpose: Circadian rest–Activity Rhythm Disorders (CARDs) are common in patients with cancer, particularly in advanced disease. CARDs are associated with increased symptom burden, poorer quality of life, and shorter survival. ... -
Interventional techniques to management of cancer-related pain: Clinical and critical aspects
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Interventional techniques to manage cancer-related pain may be efficient treatment modalities in patients unresponsive or unable to tolerate systemic opioids. However, indication and selection of the right technique demand ... -
Liquid Biopsies in Solid Cancers: Implementation in a Nordic Healthcare System
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Liquid biopsies have emerged as a potential new diagnostic tool, providing detailed information relevant for characterization and treatment of solid cancers. We here present an overview of current evidence supporting the ... -
Mononuclear but Not Polymorphonuclear Phagocyte Depletion Increases Circulation Times and Improves Mammary Tumor-Homing Efficiency of Donor Bone Marrow-Derived Monocytes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Tumor associated macrophages are an essential part of the tumor microenvironment. Consequently, bone marrow-derived monocytes (BMDMs) are continuously recruited to tumors and are therefore seen as ideal delivery vehicles ... -
Nephronectin as a matrix effector in cancer
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The extracellular matrix protein nephronectin plays an important regulatory role during embryonic development, controlling renal organogenesis through integrin α8β1 association. Nephronectin has three main domains: five ... -
Predicting Regions of Local Recurrence in Glioblastomas Using Voxel-Based Radiomic Features of Multiparametric Postoperative MRI
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The globally accepted surgical strategy in glioblastomas is removing the enhancing tumor. However, the peritumoral region harbors infiltration areas responsible for future tumor recurrence. This study aimed to evaluate a ... -
