Associations between hematologic toxicity and health-related quality of life during first-line chemotherapy in advanced non-small-cell lung cancer: a pooled analysis of two randomized trials
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Background: Many patients experience toxicity from chemotherapy that may negatively impact their health-related quality of life (HRQoL), but side effects often go undetected by health care personnel. Our aim was to investigate ... -
Changes in fatigue, health-related quality of life and physical activity after a one-week educational program for cancer survivors
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background: Rehabilitation aims to improve function, but the effects of different programs are not clear. The aims of the present study were to: (1) compare the level of fatigue and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) ... -
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy after modern treatment of Hodgkin’s lymphoma; symptom burden and quality of life
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Background: Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a dose-limiting side effect of Hodgkin’s lymphoma (HL) treatment. We aimed to describe the prevalence of CIPN associated symptoms in long-term HL survivors ... -
Chronic fatigue in long-term survivors of Hodgkin’s lymphoma after contemporary risk-adapted treatment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Background Chronic fatigue (CF), substantial fatigue for ≥ six months, can manifest as a late effect (LE) after cancer treatment, and may affect several aspects of life. In a Norwegian cohort of Hodgkin’s lymphoma ... -
Comorbidity and outcomes of concurrent chemo- and radiotherapy in limited disease small cell lung cancer
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Background: Many patients with limited disease small cell lung cancer (LD SCLC) suffer from comorbidity. Not all patients with comorbidity are offered standard treatment, though there is little evidence for such a policy. ... -
Continuous development of colorectal cancer screening programs
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening programs are far from perfect. Many crucial questions remain, yet expensive CRC screening services are implemented throughout the world without a plan on how to evaluate and improve the ... -
Cumulative incidence of first recurrence after curative treatment of stage I–III colorectal cancer. Competing risk analyses of temporal and anatomic patterns
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Background Updated knowledge about the rates of recurrence and time to recurrence following curative treatment of colorectal cancer is essential to secure better patient information on prognosis, to serve as a premise ... -
Intracranial effect of osimertinib in relapsed EGFR-mutated T790M-positive and -negative non-small cell lung cancer patients: results from a phase II study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Introduction Osimertinib is effective for relapsed T790M-positive patients with brain metastases. The high brain permeability suggests that also such patients without T790M could benefit. Therefore, we evaluated the effect ... -
Lifestyle behavior among lymphoma survivors after high-dose therapy with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, assessed by patient-reported outcomes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Introduction: High-dose therapy with autologous stem cell transplantation (HD-ASCT) is associated with an increased risk of late effects. Our aim was to assess lifestyle behavior and factors associated with unhealthy ... -
Measurement of health-related quality of life during chemotherapy -the importance of timing
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Background: Side effects of chemotherapy may occur at different time-points in the treatment cycle, and the exact assessment time relative to chemotherapy may affect HRQoL scores. The current study examined the variation ... -
Overall survival after initial radiotherapy for brain metastases; a population based study of 2140 patients with non-small cell lung cancer
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Background Brain metastases (BM) occur in about 30% of all patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). BM treatment guidelines recommend more frequent use of stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT). Overall, studies report ... -
Perceived needs for different components in a rehabilitation program among cancer survivors with chronic fatigue compared to survivors without chronic fatigue
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Background: Knowledge about the user’ needs is important to develop targeted rehabilitation for cancer patients with chronic fatigue (CF). The aims of the study were to examine prevalence of CF in cancer survivors attending ... -
Pneumonitis and fibrosis after breast cancer radiotherapy: occurrence and treatment-related predictors
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Background Radiation pneumonitis (RP) and radiation fibrosis (RF) are common side effects after breast cancer (BC) radiotherapy (RT). However, there is a great variation in the frequency of RP and RF. This study presents ... -
Postoperative neoadjuvant temozolomide before radiotherapy versus standard radiotherapy in patients 60 years or younger with anaplastic astrocytoma or glioblastoma: a randomized trial
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Introduction: A pilot study of temozolomide (TMZ) given before radiotherapy (RT) for anaplastic astrocytoma (AA) and glioblastoma (GBM) resulted in prolonged survival compared to historical controls receiving RT alone. We ... -
Randomized phase II trial comparing twice daily hyperfractionated with once daily hypofractionated thoracic radiotherapy in limited disease small cell lung cancer
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Background: Concurrent chemotherapy and thoracic radiotherapy (TRT) is recommended for limited disease small cell lung cancer (LD SCLC). Twice daily TRT is well documented, but not universally implemented – probably mainly ... -
Randomized phase III trial comparing switch-maintenance pemetrexed with observation followed by pemetrexed at progression in advanced NSCLC
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Objectives: Two phase III trials show that maintenance pemetrexed therapy after platinum-doublet chemotherapy prolongs overall survival (OS) and progression free survival (PFS) in advanced non-squamous non-small-cell lung ... -
Re-irradiation for recurrent rectal cancer – a single-center experience
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background: There is no clear consensus on the use of re-irradiation (reRT) in the management of locally recurrent rectal cancer (LRRC). The aim of the present study was to investigate all reRT administered for rectal ... -
