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 ... -
Chondrosarcoma in Norway 1990-2013; an epidemiological and prognostic observational study of a complete national cohort
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background: Knowledge of chondrosarcoma (CS) of bone to date is based on institutional reports and registry publications with limits in reporting, detail and quality of data. Method: We have performed a retrospective ... -
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 ... -
The effect of a smoking cessation program for patients in cancer treatment: a quasi-experimental intervention study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Background Compared to non-smokers, smokers have reduced effects of cancer treatment, and increased risk of treatment-related toxicity. Quitting smoking can improve treatment effects and reduce side effects. This study ... -
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 ... -
Nordic anal cancer (NOAC) group consensus guidelines for risk-adapted delineation of the elective clinical target volume in anal cancer
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Background: To date, anal cancer patients are treated with radiotherapy to similar volumes despite a marked difference in risk profile based on tumor location and stage. A more individualized approach to delineation of the ... -
Normal tissue complication probability models in plan evaluation of children with brain tumors referred to proton therapy
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background: Children with brain tumors undergoing radiotherapy are at particular risk of radiation-induced morbidity and are therefore routinely considered for proton therapy (PT) to reduce the dose to healthy tissues. The ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Second cancers in radically treated Norwegian prostate cancer patients
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Introduction: The aim of this registry-based cohort study was to estimate second cancer (SC) risk following radical prostate cancer (PC) treatment and evaluate if the risk was influenced by radiotherapy. Materials and ... -
Sexual functioning, sexual enjoyment, and body image in Norwegian breast cancer survivors: a 12-year longitudinal follow-up study and comparison with the general female population
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Background Given the scarcity of evidence concerning the long-term sexual health of breast cancer (BC) survivors (BC-Pop), we aimed to assess how BC treatments affect short- and long-term sexual functioning, sexual ... -
Stable glioma incidence and increased patient survival over the past two decades in Norway: a nationwide registry-based cohort study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Background: Surveillance of incidence and survival of central nervous system tumors is essential to monitor disease burden and epidemiological changes, and to allocate health care resources. Here, we describe glioma incidence ... -
Survivors' knowledge of their diagnosis, treatment and possible late adverse effects after autologous stem cell transplantation for lymphoma
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Purpose: Lymphoma survivors after high dose therapy with autologous stem cell therapy (HD-ASCT) are at high risk for late adverse effects (AEs). Information patients receive and collect throughout their cancer trajectory ... -
Thyroid hypofunction in aging testicular cancer survivors
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Purpose Thyroid hypofunction is a late effect observed in several groups of cancer survivors, but has to date not been evaluated in-depth in testicular cancer survivors (TCSs). We investigated the prevalence of thyroid ...
