Characterization of FGD5 expression in primary breast cancers and lymph node metastases
Valla, Marit; Mjønes, Patricia; Engstrøm, Monica J; Ytterhus, Borgny; Bordin, Diana Lilian; van Loon, Barbara; Akslen, Lars A.; Vatten, Lars Johan; Opdahl, Signe; Bofin, Anna M. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)Faciogenital dysplasia 5 (FGD5) amplification drives tumor cell proliferation, and is present in 9.5% of breast cancers. We describe FGD5 expression, assess associations between FGD5 amplification and FGD5 expression, and ... -
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 ... -
Microvascular proliferation in luminal Aand basal-like breast cancer subtypes
Kraby, Maria Ryssdal; Krüger, Kristi; Opdahl, Signe; Vatten, Lars Johan; Akslen, Lars A.; Bofin, Anna M. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Aims: The aims of this study were to examine microvessel density (MVD), proliferating MVD (pMVD) and Vascular Proliferation Index (VPI) in basal-like phenotype (BP) and luminal A subtypes of breast cancer and to study their ... -
Molecular Subtypes of Breast Cancer: Long-term Incidence Trends and Prognostic Differences
Valla, Marit; Vatten, Lars Johan; Engstrøm, Monica J; Haugen, Olav Anton; Akslen, Lars A.; Bjørngaard, Johan Håkon; Hagen, Anne Irene; Ytterhus, Borgny; Bofin, Anna M.; Opdahl, Signe (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-12)Background: Secular trends in incidence and prognosis of molecular breast cancer subtypes are poorly described. We studied long-term trends in a population of Norwegian women born 1886–1977. Methods: A total of 52,949 women ... -
Molecular subtypes, histopathological grade and survival in a historic cohort of breast cancer patients
Engstrøm, Monica J; Opdahl, Signe; Hagen, Anne Irene; Romundstad, Pål Richard; Akslen, Lars A.; Haugen, Olav A.; Vatten, Lars Johan; Bofin, Anna M. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-08)Molecular subtyping of breast cancer may provide additional prognostic information regarding patient outcome. However, its clinical significance remains to be established. In this study, the main aims were to discover ... -
Predictors of adherence and the role of primary non-adherence in antihormonal treatment of breast cancer
Dragvoll, Ida; Bofin, Anna M.; Søiland, Håvard; Taraldsen, Gunnar; Engstrøm, Monica J (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-02)Background: Antihormonal treatment for hormone receptor (HR) positive breast cancer has highly beneficial effects on both recurrence rates and survival. We investigate adherence and persistence in this group of ... -
Quantifying tumour vascularity in non-luminal breast cancers
Kraby, Maria Ryssdal; Opdahl, Signe; Akslen, Lars A.; Bofin, Anna M. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)Aims: Microvessel density (MVD), proliferating MVD (pMVD) and vascular proliferation index (VPI) are methods used to quantify tumour vascularity in histopathological sections. In this study, we assessed MVD, pMVD and VPI ...
