      Sun, Yi-Qian; Richmond, Rebecca C.; Suderman, Matthew; Min, Josine L; Battram, Thomas; Flatberg, Arnar; Beisvag, Vidar; Nøst, Therese Haugdahl; Guida, Florence; Jiang, Lin; Wahl, Sissel Gyrid Freim; Langhammer, Arnulf; Skorpen, Frank; Walker, Rosie M; Bretherick, Andrew D; Zeng, Yanni; Chen, Yue; Johansson, Mattias; Sandanger, Torkjel M; Relton, Caroline L; Mai, Xiao-Mei (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Background: It is unclear if smoking-related DNA methylation represents a causal pathway between smoking and risk of lung cancer. We sought to identify novel smoking-related DNA methylation sites in blood, with repeated ...
    • Associations between detectable circulating tumor DNA and tumor glucose uptake measured by 18F-FDG PET/CT in early-stage non-small cell lung cancer 

      Ottestad, Anine Larsen; Johansen, Håkon; Halvorsen, Tarje Onsøien; Dai, Hong Yan; Wahl, Sissel Gyrid Freim; Emdal, Elisabeth Fritzke; Grønberg, Bjørn Henning (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Background The low level of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in the blood is a well-known challenge for the application of liquid biopsies in early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) management. Studies of metastatic ...
    • Associations between tumor mutations in cfDNA and survival in non-small cell lung cancer 

      Ottestad, Anine Larsen; Hong, Yan Dai; Halvorsen, Tarje Onsøien; Emdal, Elisabeth Fritzke; Wahl, Sissel Gyrid Freim; Grønberg, Bjørn Henning (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Introduction: Studies have indicated that detection of mutated KRAS or EGFR in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) from pre-treatment plasma samples is a negative prognostic factor for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) pa-tients. ...
    • Concordance between clinical and pathology TNM-staging in lung cancer 

      Solberg, Steinar; Nilssen, Yngvar; Brustugun, Odd Terje; Haram, Per Magnus; Helland, Åslaug; Møller, Bjørn; Strand, Trond-Eirik; Wahl, Sissel Gyrid Freim; Fjellbirkeland, Lars (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Objectives - A prerequisite for utilizing the tumour, lymph-nodes, and metastases (TNM) for the staging of lung cancer patients is a high quality of the reported data on which the staging is based. The aim of this study ...
    • Diagnostic accuracy of circulating free DNA testing for the detection of KRAS mutations in non-small cell lung cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis 

      Palmieri, Maria; Zulato, Elisabetta; Wahl, Sissel Gyrid Freim; Guibert, Nicolas; Frullanti, Elisa (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS) gene encodes a GTPase that acts as a molecular switch for intracellular signal transduction, promoting cell growth and proliferation. Mutations in the KRAS gene represent ...
    • Increase in curative treatment and survival of lung cancer in Norway 2001-2016 

      Solberg, Steinar; Nilssen, Yngvar; Brustugun, Odd Terje; Grimsrud, Tom Kristian; Haram, Per Magnus; Helbekkmo, Nina; Helland, Åslaug; Hjelde, Harald Harris; Jakobsen, Bjørn; Møller, Bjørn; Petersen, Martin; Strand, Trond-Eirik; Wahl, Sissel Gyrid Freim; Aanerud, Marianne; Fjellbirkeland, Lars (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      We have studied the alterations in the use of curative treatment and the outcome for lung cancer patients in Norway 2001–2016. The Cancer Registry of Norway has a practically complete registration of all cancer diagnoses, ...
    • Tracheal cancer: a rare and deadly but potentially curable disease that also affects younger people 

      Nilssen, Yngvar; Solberg, Steinar; Brustugun, Odd Terje; Møller, Bjørn; Sundset, Arve; Wahl, Sissel Gyrid Freim; Helland, Åslaug (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      OBJECTIVES The incidence of tracheal cancer is low, few clinicians get much experience and the awareness may be low. Recent data on the treatment and outcome are limited. The aim of the present study was to present ...
