• Dactolisib (NVP-BEZ235) toxicity in murine brain tumour models 

      Netland, I. A; Førde, H. E; Sleire, L.; Leiss, L.; Rahman, M. A; Skeie, B. S; Gjerde, C. H; Enger, P. Ø; Goplen, D. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-08-19)
      Background: Glioblastomas (GBMs) are highly malignant brain tumours with a poor prognosis, and current cytotoxic regimens provide only a limited survival benefit. The PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway has been an attractive target for ...
    • FGD5 amplification in breast cancer patients is associated with tumor proliferation and a poorer prognosis 

      Valla, Marit; Engstrøm, Monica J; Ytterhus, Borgny; Hansen, Åse Kristin Skain; Akslen, Lars A.; Vatten, Lars Johan; Opdahl, Signe; Bofin, Anna M. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-04)
      Purpose: Proliferation is a hallmark of cancer. Using a combined genomic approach, FGD5 amplification has been identified as a driver of proliferation in Luminal breast cancer. We aimed to describe FGD5 copy number change ...

      Lende, Tone Hoel; Austdal, Marie; Varhaugvik, Anne Elin; Skaland, Ivar; Gudlaugsson, Einar; Kvaløy, Jan Terje; Akslen, Lars A.; Søiland, Håvard; Janssen, Emiel; Baak, Jan P.A. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-11-08)
      Background: Conflicting results have been reported on the influence of carbohydrates in breast cancer. Objective: To determine the influence of pre-operative per-oral carbohydrate load on proliferation in breast tumors. ...
    • Metabolic consequences of perioperative oral carbohydrates in breast cancer patients - an explorative study 

      Lende, Tone Hoel; Austdal, Marie; Bathen, Tone Frost; Varhaugvik, Anne Elin; Skaland, Ivar; Gudlaugsson, Einar; Egeland, Nina Gran; Lunde, Siri; Akslen, Lars A.; Jonsdottir, Kristin; Janssen, Emiel; Søiland, Håvard; Baak, Jan P.A. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-12-04)
      Background: The metabolic consequences of preoperative carbohydrate load in breast cancer patients are not known. The present explorative study investigated the systemic and tumor metabolic changes after preoperative ...
