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 ... -
Associations between detectable circulating tumor DNA and tumor glucose uptake measured by 18F-FDG PET/CT in early-stage non-small cell lung cancer
(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 ... -
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 ... -
Cerebellar mutism syndrome in children with brain tumours of the posterior fossa
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)Background: Central nervous system tumours constitute 25% of all childhood cancers; more than half are located in the posterior fossa and surgery is usually part of therapy. One of the most disabling late effects of posterior ... -
Downstaging and survival after Neoadjuvant chemotherapy for bladder cancer in Norway; a population-based study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Background Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) before radical cystectomy is associated with pathological downstaging (DS) and improved overall survival (OS) in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). Population-based ... -
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. ... -
Long-term trends in colorectal cancer: incidence, localization, and presentation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background The purpose of this study was to assess trends in incidence and presentation of colorectal cancer (CRC) over a period of 37 years in a stable population in Mid-Norway. Secondarily, we wanted to predict the ... -
Longitudinal minimal residual disease assessment in multiple myeloma patients in complete remission - results from the NMSG flow-MRD substudy within the EMN02/HO95 MM trial
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Background Multiple myeloma remains an incurable disease with multiple relapses due to residual myeloma cells in the bone marrow of patients after therapy. Presence of small number of cancer cells in the body after cancer ... -
Metabolic characterization of triple negative breast cancer
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Background The aims of this study were to characterize the metabolite profiles of triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) and to investigate the metabolite profiles associated with human epidermal growth factor receptor-2/neu ... -
Octogenarian patients with colon cancer – postoperative morbidity and mortality are the major challenges
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Background Few studies have addressed colon cancer surgery outcomes in an unselected cohort of octogenarian patients. The present study aimed to evaluate the relative survival of octogenarian patients after a major resection ... -
Post-treatment work patterns amongst survivors of lymphoma treated with high-dose chemotherapy with autologous stem-cell transplantation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Background This study describes post-treatment work patterns in lymphoma survivors treated with high-dose chemotherapy with autologous stem-cell transplantation (HDT-ASCT). It aims to identify determinants for labour force ... -
Predictors of adherence and the role of primary non-adherence in antihormonal treatment of breast cancer
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Background Antihormonal treatment for hormone receptor (HR) positive breast cancer has highly beneficial effects on both recurrence rates and survival. We investigate adherence and persistence in this group of ... -
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 ... -
Prognostic value of metabolic response in breast cancer patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)Background Today's clinical diagnostic tools are insufficient for giving accurate prognosis to breast cancer patients. The aim of our study was to examine the tumor metabolic changes in patients with locally advanced breast ... -
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 ... -
Smoking related lung cancer mortality by education and sex in Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Lung cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer and the leading cause of cancer death worldwide, with tobacco smoking as the main cause [1]. In Norway, as in other western countries, smoking was more prevalent among ...
