• A comparison of CT based measures of skeletal muscle mass and density from the Th4 and L3 levels in patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer 

      Grønberg, Bjørn Henning; Sjøblom, Bjørg; Wentzel-Larsen, Tore; Baracos, Vickie Elaine; Hjermstad, Marianne Jensen; Aass, Nina Kathrine; Bremnes, Roy M.; Fløtten, Øystein; Bye, Asta; Jordhøy, Marit Slaaen (European Journal of Clinical Nutrition;, Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-09-25)
      Background: Muscle mass and density assessed from CT-images at the L3 level are prognostic for survival and predict toxicity in cancer patients. However, L3 is not always included on routine CT-scans. We aimed to investigate ...
    • Gene variations in sex hormone pathways and the risk of testicular germ cell tumour: a case–parent triad study in a Norwegian–Swedish population 

      Kristiansen, Wenche; Andreassen, Kristine Engen; Karlsson, Robert; Aschim, Elin Leirvoll; Bremnes, Roy M.; Dahl, Olav; Fosså, Sophie Dorothea; Klepp, Olbjørn; Langberg, Carl W.; Solberg, Arne; Tretli, Steinar; Adami, Hans-Olov; Wiklund, Fredrik; Grotmol, Tom; Haugen, Trine Berit (Human Reproduction;27 (5), Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012-03-08)
      BACKGROUND Testicular germ cell tumour (TGCT) is the most common cancer in young men, and an imbalance between the estrogen and androgen levels in utero is hypothesized to influence TGCT risk. Thus, polymorphisms in genes ...
    • Muscle mass and association to quality of life in non-small cell lung cancer patients 

      Bye, Asta; Sjøblom, Bjørg; Wentzel-Larsen, Tore; Grønberg, Bjørn Henning; Baracos, Vickie E.; Hjermstad, Marianne Jensen; Aass, Nina Kathrine; Bremnes, Roy M.; Fløtten, Øystein; Jordhøy, Marit Slaaen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Background Cancer wasting is characterized by muscle loss and may contribute to fatigue and poor quality of life (QoL). Our aim was to investigate associations between skeletal muscle index (SMI) and skeletal muscle ...
    • Transcription factor PAX6 as a novel prognostic factor and putative tumour suppressor in non-small cell lung cancer 

      Kiselev, Yury; Andersen, Sigve; Johannessen, Charles; Fjukstad, Bjørn; Olsen, Karina Standahl; Stenvold, Helge; Al-Saad, Samer; Dønnem, Tom; Richardsen, Elin; Bremnes, Roy M.; Busund, Lill-Tove (Scientific Reports;Volume 8, Article number: 5059 (2018), Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-03-22)
      Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths. Novel predictive biomarkers are needed to improve treatment selection and more accurate prognostication. PAX6 is a transcription factor with a proposed tumour suppressor ...
