Chemical, Physical and Biological Triggers of Evolutionary Sonserved Bcl-xL-Mediated Apoptosis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background: The evidence that pan-Bcl-2 or Bcl-xL-specific inhibitors prematurely kill virus-infected or RNA/DNA-transfected cells provides rationale for investigating these apoptotic inducers further. We hypothesized that ... -
A Comparative Analysis of Orthotopic and Subcutaneous Pancreatic Tumour Models: Tumour Microenvironment and Drug Delivery
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains a challenging malignancy, mainly due to its resistance to chemotherapy and its complex tumour microenvironment characterised by stromal desmoplasia. There is a need for new ... -
Gastric Cancers Missed at Upper Endoscopy in Central Norway 2007 to 2016—a Population-Based Study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Simple summary: Stomach cancer may be missed during upper endoscopy. We have examined how often this occurs and identified factors associated with missed cancers. Among 730 patients with gastric cancer, 67 (9.2%) were ... -
Glioblastoma Surgery Imaging-Reporting and Data System: Validation and Performance of the Automated Segmentation Task
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)For patients with presumed glioblastoma, essential tumor characteristics are determined from preoperative MR images to optimize the treatment strategy. This procedure is time-consuming and subjective, if performed by crude ... -
Glioblastoma Surgery Imaging—Reporting and Data System: Standardized Reporting of Tumor Volume, Location, and Resectability Based on Automated Segmentations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Treatment decisions for patients with presumed glioblastoma are based on tumor characteristics available from a preoperative MR scan. Tumor characteristics, including volume, location, and resectability, are often estimated ... -
Histomolecular Validation of [<sup>18</sup>F]-FACBC in Gliomas Using Image-Localized Biopsies
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Background: Gliomas have a heterogeneous nature, and identifying the most aggressive parts of the tumor and defining tumor borders are important for histomolecular diagnosis, surgical resection, and radiation therapy ... -
International e-Delphi Consensus Recommendations for the Assessment and Diagnosis of Circadian rest–Activity Rhythm Disorders (CARDs) in Patients with Cancer
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Purpose: Circadian rest–Activity Rhythm Disorders (CARDs) are common in patients with cancer, particularly in advanced disease. CARDs are associated with increased symptom burden, poorer quality of life, and shorter survival. ... -
Liquid Biopsies in Solid Cancers: Implementation in a Nordic Healthcare System
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Liquid biopsies have emerged as a potential new diagnostic tool, providing detailed information relevant for characterization and treatment of solid cancers. We here present an overview of current evidence supporting the ... -
Lower-Limb Lymphedema after Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy in Cervical Cancer Patients
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Background: To prospectively assess LLL incidence among cervical cancer patients treated by uterine surgery complemented by SLN biopsy, without PLND. Methods: A prospective study in 150 patients with stage IA1–IB2 cervical ... -
Nephronectin as a matrix effector in cancer
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The extracellular matrix protein nephronectin plays an important regulatory role during embryonic development, controlling renal organogenesis through integrin α8β1 association. Nephronectin has three main domains: five ... -
Predicting Regions of Local Recurrence in Glioblastomas Using Voxel-Based Radiomic Features of Multiparametric Postoperative MRI
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The globally accepted surgical strategy in glioblastomas is removing the enhancing tumor. However, the peritumoral region harbors infiltration areas responsible for future tumor recurrence. This study aimed to evaluate a ... -
