Stimulated monocyte IL-6 secretion predicts survival of patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma
Heimdal, John-Helge; Kross, Kenneth; Klementsen, Beate; Olofsson, Olaf; Aarstad, Hans Jørgen (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2008-01-30)Background This study was performed in order to determine whether monocyte in vitro function is associated with presence, stage and prognosis of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) disease. Methods Prospective ... -
Targeted Next-Generation Sequencing of Cancer-Related Genes in a Norwegian Patient Cohort With Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma Reveals Novel Actionable Mutations and Correlations With Pathological Parameters
Dongre, Harsh N.; Haave, Hilde; Fromreide, Siren; Erland, Fredrik Atteraas; Moe, Svein Erik Emblem; Dhayalan, Sophia Manueldas; Riis, Rasmus Kopperud; Sapkota, Dipak; Costea, Daniela Elena; Aarstad, Hans Jørgen; Vintermyr, Olav Karsten (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background: Targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) is increasingly applied in clinical oncology to advance personalized treatment. Despite success in many other tumour types, use of targeted NGS panels for assisting ... -
The TP53 Codon 72 Arginine Polymorphism Is Found with Increased TP53 Somatic Mutations in HPV(−) and in an Increased Percentage among HPV(+) Norwegian HNSCC Patients
Moe, Svein Erik Emblem; Erland, Fredrik Atteraas; Fromreide, Siren; Lybak, Stein; Brydøy, Marianne; Dongre, Harsh Nitin; Manueldas, Sophia; Costea, Daniela Elena; Vintermyr, Olav Karsten; Aarstad, Hans Jørgen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023-06-26)Background: Somatic TP53 mutations are frequent in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and are important pathogenic factors. Objective: To study TP53 mutations relative to the presence of human papillomavirus ... -
Tumor HPV status, level of regulatory T cells and macrophage infiltration predict up to 20-year non-disease-specific survival in oropharynx squamous cell carcinoma patients
Haave, Hilde; Ljøkjel, Borghild; Lybak, Helene; Moe, Svein Erik Emblem; Berge, Jan Erik; Vintermyr, Olav Karsten; Helgeland, Lars; Aarstad, Hans Jørgen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Oropharynx squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) is of special interest because human papilloma virus (HPV) and/or smoking cause this disease. Influxes of inflammatory cells into such tumors are known to vary with prognoses. ... -
Tumor infiltration levels of CD3, Foxp3 (+) lymphocytes and CD68 macrophages at diagnosis predict 5-year disease-specific survival in patients with oropharynx squamous cell carcinoma
Ljøkjel, Borghild; Haave, Hilde; Lybak, Stein; Vintermyr, Olav Karsten; Helgeland, Lars; Aarstad, Hans Jørgen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Head and neck cancer (HNC) is the sixth most common cancer worldwide. Oropharyngeal (OP) cancers are of special interest because of possible underlying HPV infection which is tied to prognosis. Influxes of inflammatory ...
