      Melanomas have a high potential to metastasize to the brain. Recent advances in targeted therapies and immunotherapies have changed the therapeutical landscape of extracranial melanomas. However, few patients with melanoma ...
    • CCT196969 effectively inhibits growth and survival of melanoma brain metastasis cells 

      Reigstad, Agathe; Herdlevær, Christina Frantzen; Rigg, Emma Kayleigh; Hoang, Tuyen; Bjørnstad, Ole Vidhammer; Aasen, Synnøve Nymark; Preis, Jasmin; Haan, Claude; Sundstrøm, Terje; Thorsen, Frits (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Melanomas frequently metastasize to the brain. Despite recent progress in the treatment of melanoma brain metastasis, therapy resistance and relapse of disease remain unsolved challenges. CCT196969 is a SRC family kinase ...
    • Effective treatment of metastatic melanoma by combining MAPK and PI3K signaling pathway inhibitors 

      Aasen, Synnøve Nymark; Parajuli, Himalaya; Hoang, Tuyen; Feng, Zichao; Stokke, Krister; Wang, Jiwei; Roy, Kislay; Bjerkvig, Rolf; Knappskog, Stian; Thorsen, Frits (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-08-29)
      Malignant melanoma is the most aggressive type of skin cancer and is closely associated with the development of brain metastases. Despite aggressive treatment, the prognosis has traditionally been poor, necessitating ...
    • Inhibition of extracellular vesicle-derived miR-146a-5p decreases progression of melanoma brain metastasis via Notch pathway dysregulation in astrocytes 

      Rigg, Emma Kayleigh; Wang, Jiwei; Xue, Zhiwei; Lunavat, Taral; Liu, Guowei; Hoang, Tuyen; Parajuli, Himalaya; Han, Mingzhi; Bjerkvig, Rolf; Nazarov, Petr V.; Nicot, Nathalie; Kreis, Stephanie; Margue, Christiane; Nomigni, Miléne Tetsi; Utikal, Jochen; Miletic, Hrvoje; Sundstrøm, Terje; Ystaas, Lars Andreas Rømo; Li, Xingang; Thorsen, Frits (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Melanoma has the highest propensity of all cancers to metastasize to the brain with a large percentage of late-stage patients developing metastases in the central nervous system (CNS). It is well known that metastasis ...
