The association of women’s birth size with risk of molecular breast cancer subtypes: a cohort study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Background: Because birth size appears to be positively associated with breast cancer risk, we have studied whether this risk may differ according to molecular breast cancer subtypes. Methods: A cohort of 22,931 women born ... -
Body mass index and incidence of lung cancer in the HUNT study: using observational and Mendelian randomization approaches
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Background Traditional observational studies have shown an inverse association between body mass index (BMI) and lung cancer risk. Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis using genetic variants as instruments for BMI may ... -
Long term trends of breast cancer incidence according to proliferation status
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Background Long-term breast cancer incidence trends according to proliferation status are poorly described. We studied time-trends in breast cancer incidence, using mitotic count and Ki-67 as markers of proliferation. ... -
MDM2 promoter polymorphism del1518 (rs3730485) and its impact on endometrial and ovarian cancer risk
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Background The del1518 (rs3730485) polymorphism is an in/del variant in the MDM2 promoter P1. The variant is in complete linkage disequilibrium with MDM2 SNP309 (rs2279744) and has previously been found associated with ... -
Prognostic value of combined MTV and ADC derived from baseline FDG PET/MRI in aggressive non-Hodgkins lymphoma
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Purpose The aim of this prospective study was to investigate the prognostic value of metabolic tumor volume (MTV) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) from baseline FDG PET/MRI compared to established clinical risk ... -
Psychotropic and anti-epileptic drug use, before and after surgery, among patients with low-grade glioma: a nationwide matched cohort study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background: Low-grade glioma (LGG) is a relatively rare type of brain tumour. The use of antidepressant, sedative and anti-epileptic drugs can reflect the burden of the disease. While epilepsy is well-described in patients ...
