• Expression of the Cholecystokinin-B Receptor in Neoplastic Gastric Cells 

      Mjønes, Patricia; Nordrum, Ivar Skjåk; Sørdal, Øystein Finset; Sagatun, Liv; Fossmark, Reidar; Sandvik, Arne Kristian; Waldum, Helge (Journal article, 2017)
      Gastric cancer is an important disease due to its high mortality. Despite the decline in frequency, most cases are discovered late in its course, and most of the cancer patients die within a few years of diagnosis. In ...
    • Gastrin and gastric cancer 

      Waldum, Helge; Sagatun, Liv; Mjønes, Patricia (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Gastric cancer although occurring in reduced frequency is still an important disease, partly because of the bad prognosis when occurring in western countries. This decline in occurrence may mainly be due to the reduced ...
    • Hormones and Neuroendocrine Cells Role in Gastric Tumourigenesis 

      Sagatun, Liv (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2017:177, Doctoral thesis, 2017)
      The localization of the gastrin receptor on the enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cells and the dose-response curve for the histamine releasing effect of gastrin have been shown in rats. Furthermore, in this species the trophic ...
    • Neuron-Specific Enolase as an Immunohistochemical Marker Is Better Than Its Reputation 

      Mjønes, Patricia; Sagatun, Liv; Nordrum, Ivar Skjåk; Waldum, Helge (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      The diagnosis of neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) may be challenging and is based on typical morphological features and positive staining for antibodies of neuroendocrine differentiation. Neuron-specific enolase (NSE) being ...
