Breast cancer mortality in participants of the Norwegian Breast Cancer Screening Program
(Cancer;119(17), Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-05-29)BACKGROUND The Norwegian Breast Cancer Screening Program started in 1996. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first report using individual-based data on invitation and participation to analyze breast cancer mortality ... -
CT Density in Lung Cancer Patients After Radiotherapy Sensitized by Metoclopramide : A Subgroup Analysis of a Randomized Trial
(Strahlentherapie und Onkologie;186 (3), Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010-02-22)Purpose: To investigate the lung tissue response measured with computed tomography (CT) after radiotherapy (RT) combined with metoclopramide. Patients and Methods: Patients with non-small cell lung cancer (tumor stage ... -
Dose Distribution in the Heart and Cardiac Chambers Following 4-field Radiation Therapy of Breast Cancer: a Retrospective Study
(Breast cancer: basic and clinical research;7, Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-03-20)Purpose: To evaluate cardiac doses in breast cancer patients with stage II/III treated with 4-field radiotherapy based on computed tomography (CT) dose planning. Methods and Materials: Based on archived CT images, whole ... -
LIMT is a novel metastasis inhibiting lncRNA suppressed by EGF and downregulated in aggressive breast cancer
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging as regulators of gene expression in pathogenesis, including cancer. Recently, lncRNAs have been implicated in progression of specific subtypes of breast cancer. One aggressive, ... -
Patterns of aggressiveness: Risk of progression to invasive breast cancer by mammographic features of calcifications in screen-detected ductal carcinoma in situ
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Background Mammographic features of calcifications on mammograms showing invasive breast cancer are associated with survival. Less is known about mammographic features and progression to invasive breast cancer among women ... -
Polymorphisms in hormone metabolism and growth factor genes and mammographic density in Norwegian postmenopausal hormone therapy users and non-users
(Breast Cancer Research;14 (R135), Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012-10-27)Introduction Mammographic density (MD) is one of the strongest known breast cancer risk factors. Estrogen and progestin therapy (EPT) has been associated with increases in MD. Dense breast tissue is characterized by ... -
Profiling of the small RNA populations in human testicular germ cell tumors shows global loss of piRNAs
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Background Small non-coding RNAs play essential roles in gene regulation, however, the interplay between RNA groups, their expression levels and deregulations in tumorigenesis requires additional exploration. In particular, ... -
Risk of breast cancer after false-positive results in mammographic screening
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Women with false-positive results are commonly referred back to routine screening. Questions remain regarding their long-term outcome of breast cancer. We assessed the risk of screen-detected breast cancer in women with ... -
Uncertainties involved in the estimation of mean glandular dose for women in the Norwegian breast cancer screening program (NBCSP)
(Radiation protection dosimetry;, Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012-11-27)The aim of this study was to reflect on the estimation of the mean glandular dose for women in Norway aged 50–69 y. Estimation of mean glandular dose (MGD) has been conducted by applying the method of Dance et al. (1990, ...
