    • CD24-targeted intraoperative fluorescence image-guided surgery leads to improved cytoreduction of ovarian cancer in a preclinical orthotopic surgical model 

      Kleinmanns, Katrin; Fosse, Vibeke Samuelsen; Davidson, Ben; de Jalón, Elvira Garcia; Tenstad, Olav; Bjørge, Line; McCormack, Emmet (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Background The completeness of resection is a key prognostic indicator in patients with ovarian cancer, and the application of tumour-targeted fluorescence image-guided surgery (FIGS) has led to improved detection of ...

    • Comparison of Five Near-Infrared Fluorescent Folate Conjugates in an Ovarian Cancer Model 

      García de Jalón, Elvira; Kleinmanns, Katrin; Fosse, Vibeke Samuelsen; Davidson, Ben; Bjørge, Line; Haug, Bengt Erik; McCormack, Emmet (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Purpose Fluorescence imaging (FLI) using targeted near-infrared (NIR) conjugates aids the detection of tumour lesions pre- and intraoperatively. The optimisation of tumour visualisation and contrast is essential and can ...

    • HOTAIR and its surrogate DNA methylation signature indicate carboplatin resistance in ovarian cancer 

      Teschendorff, Andrew E.; Lee, Shih-Han; Jones, Allison; Fiegl, Heidi; Kalwa, Marie; Wagner, Wolfgang; Chindera, Kantaraja; Evans, Iona; Dubeau, Louis; Orjalo, Arturo; Horlings, Hugo M.; Niederreiter, Lukas; Kaser, Arthur; Yang, Winnie; Goode, Ellen L.; Fridley, Brooke L.; Jenner, Richard G.; Berns, Els M.; Wik, Elisabeth; Salvesen, Helga Birgitte; Wisman, G. B. A.; van der Zee, Ate G.; Davidson, Ben; Trope, Claes Gøran; Lambrechts, Sandrina; Vergote, Ignace; Calvert, Hilary; Jacobs, Ian J.; Widschwendter, Martin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-10-24)
      Background: Understanding carboplatin resistance in ovarian cancer is critical for the improvement of patients’ lives. Multipotent mesenchymal stem cells or an aggravated epithelial to mesenchymal transition phenotype of ...

    • Humanized Ovarian Cancer Patient-Derived Xenografts for Improved Preclinical Evaluation of Immunotherapies 

      Kleinmanns, Katrin; Gullaksen, Stein-Erik; Bredholt, Geir; Davidson, Ben; Torkildsen, Cecilie Fredvik; Grindheim, Sindre; Bjørge, Line; Cormack, Emmet Mc (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) has poor prognosis and new treatment modalities are needed. Immunotherapy, with checkpoint inhibitors, have demonstrated limited impact. To evaluate the suitability for immunotherapeutics, ...

    • Repurposing 18F-FMISO as a PET tracer for translational imaging of nitroreductase-based gene directed enzyme prodrug therapy 

      Ruiz de Garibay, Gorka; García de Jalón, Elvira; Stigen, Endre; Lund, Kjetil B.; Popa, Mihaela-Lucia; Davidson, Ben; Mayoral Safont, Mireia; Rygh, Cecilie Brekke; Espedal, Heidi; Barrett, Torill; Haug, Bengt Erik; McCormack, Emmet (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Nitroreductases (NTR) are a family of bacterial enzymes used in gene directed enzyme prodrug therapy (GDEPT) that selectively activate prodrugs containing aromatic nitro groups to exert cytotoxic effects following gene ...
