Cellesignalering etter PDT : betydning av nekrose, apoptose og autofagi
(Master thesis, 2009-05)Bakgrunn: Begrensningene med mange av dagens kreftbehandling er mangel på selektivitet (Abraham and Altaha 2007). Fotodynamisk terapi (PDT) er en relativ ny behandlingsalternativ innen kreftbehandling (Ortel et al. 2009). ... -
Change in content of extracellular vesicles from human skeletal muscle cells after electrical pulse stimulation with focus on microRNA.
(Master thesis, 2021)Background and Aim Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanoparticles with a double membrane postulated to be released by cells of all types and can be detected in all body fluids. They are classified in three groups ... -

Combination treatments with regorafenib in preclinical models of colorectal cancer
(MABIO;2020, Master thesis, 2020)Introduction. Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most common cancer type in Norway in both genders. Active chemotherapy is used in first-line treatment regimens for patients with metastatic CRC (mCRC), which includes ... -
Copy number alterations in breast carcinomas: Comparison of different methods for assessment
(MABIOD;2018, Master thesis, 2018)Breast cancer is a disease dominated by copy number alterations, but only HER2 copy number assessment analyzed by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is today included in the guidelines for breast cancer diagnostics. ... -
Cytokinprofil i kolorektale tumorer - med og uten Fusobacterium nucleatum
(Master thesis, 2021)Bakgrunn og formål: Den vanlige oppfatningen er at inflammasjon i kolorektal kreft (CRC) er et resultat av den neoplastiske celleveksten. Det er vist at epitelbarrieren mot tarmlumen kan være svekket i kolorektale tumorer, ... -
Deep inspiration breath-hold in stereotactic and conventional fractionated radiotherapy of lesions in the lung
(Master thesis, 2021)The purpose of the clinical study was to evaluate lung cancer patients’ ability to perform deep inspiration breath-hold (DIBH) during CT simulation and throughout the treatment course of radiation therapy (RT). In addition, ... -

(MABIOD;2017, Master thesis, 2017)Sammendrag Bakgrunn: Norge er i verdenstoppen når det gjelder hoftebrudd. Årlig brekker ca. 9000 voksne nordmenn hoften. Syv av ti av disse er kvinner. I Norge er det på bakgrunn av bentetthetsmålinger beregnet at ca. 240 ... -
Development of a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis for cortisol as a stress biomarker to monitor fish welfare
(Master thesis, 2021)Background: Norway is the world’s biggest salmon producer and the salmon industry has grown to become Norway’s second largest export industry in value, after oil and gas. Despite the impressive growth, the industry is still ... -
Difference between volume Computed Tomography Dose Index (CTDIvol) and Size Specific Dose Estimates (SSDE) in abdomen- and thorax protocols in patients of different sizes in different CT scanners.
(Master thesis, 2021)Background: Volume Computed Tomography Dose Index (CTDIvol) only provides information about the radiation dose delivered by a CT scanner. The Size Specific Dose Estimate (SSDE) introduced by the American Association of ... -
