    • Early radiologic signal of responsiveness to immune checkpoint blockade in microsatellite-stable/mismatch repair-proficient metastatic colorectal cancer 

      Meltzer, Sebastian; Negård, Anne; Bakke, Kine Mari; Hamre, Hanne Mari; Kersten, Christian; Hofsli, Eva; Guren, Marianne; Sorbye, Halfdan; Flatmark, Kjersti; Ree, Anne Hansen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Background: Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) results in radiologic tumour response dynamics that differ from chemotherapy efficacy measures and require an early signal of clinical utility. Methods: Previously untreated, ...

    • Fueling the flames of colon cancer – does CRP play a direct pro-inflammatory role? 

      Køstner, Anne Helene; Fuglestad, Anniken Jørlo; Georgsen, Jeanette Baehr; Nielsen, Patricia Switten; Christensen, Kristina Bang; Zibrandtsen, Helle; Parner, Erik Thorlund; Rajab, Ibraheem M.; Potempa, Lawrence A.; Steiniche, Torben; Kersten, Christian (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023-03-17)
      Background: Systemic inflammation, diagnostically ascribed by measuring serum levels of the acute phase reactant C-reactive protein (CRP), has consistently been correlated with poor outcomes across cancer types. CRP exists ...

    • Germline pathogenic variants in patients with high-grade gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms 

      Venizelos, Andreas; Sorbye, Halfdan; Elvebakken, Hege; Perren, Aurel; Lothe, Inger Marie Bowitz; Couvelard, Anne; Hjortland, Geir Olav; Sundlöv, Anna; Svensson, Johanna; Garresori, Herish; Kersten, Christian; Hofsli, Eva; Detlefsen, Sönke; Vestermark, Lene W.; Ladekarl, Morten; Tabaksblat, Elizaveta Mitkina; Knappskog, Stian (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      High-grade gastroenteropancreatic (HG-GEP) neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are highly aggressive cancers. The molecular etiology of these tumors remains unclear, and the prevalence of pathogenic germline variants in patients ...

    • Health-related quality of life in patients with advanced melanoma treated with ipilimumab: prognostic implications and changes during treatment 

      Aamdal, Elin; Skovlund, Eva; Jacobsen, Kari Dolven; Straume, Oddbjørn; Kersten, Christian; Herlofsen, Oluf; Karlsen, Jarle; Hussain, Israr; Amundsen, Anita; Dalhaug, Astrid; Nyakas, Marta Sølvi; Hagene, Kirsten Thorin; Holmsen, Kjersti; Aamdal, Steinar; Kaasa, Stein; Guren, Tormod Kyrre; Kyte, Jon A (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Background: We have previously reported that the safety and efficacy of ipilimumab in real-world patients with metastatic melanoma were comparable to clinical trials. Few studies have explored health-related quality of ...

    • How To Design Selective Ligands for Highly Conserved Binding Sites: A Case Study Using N-Myristoyltransferases as a Model System 

      Kersten, Christian; Fleischer, Edmond; Kehrein, Josef; Borek, Christoph; Jaenicke, Elmar; Sotriffer, Christoph; Brenk, Ruth (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      A model system of two related enzymes with conserved binding sites, namely N-myristoyltransferase from two different organisms, was studied to decipher the driving forces that lead to selective inhibition in such cases. ...

    • Ipilimumab in a real-world population: A prospective Phase IV trial with long-term follow-up 

      Aamdal, Elin; Jacobsen, Kari Dolven; Straume, Oddbjørn; Kersten, Christian; Herlofsen, Oluf; Karlsen, Jarle; Hussain, Israr; Amundsen, Anita; Dalhaug, Astrid; Nyakas, Marta Sølvi; Schuster, Cornelia; Hagene, Kirsten Thorin; Holmsen, Kjersti; Russnes, Hege Elisabeth Giercksky; Skovlund, Eva; Kaasa, Stein; Aamdal, Steinar; Kyte, Jon A.; Guren, Tormod Kyrre (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Ipilimumab was the first treatment that improved survival in advanced melanoma. Efficacy and toxicity in a real-world setting may differ from clinical trials, due to more liberal eligibility criteria and less intensive ...

    • The molecular characteristics of high-grade gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms 

      Venizelos, Andreas; Elvebakken, Hege; Perren, Aurel; Nikolaienko, Oleksii; Deng, Wei; Lothe, Inger Marie Bowitz; Couvelard, Anne; Hjortland, Geir Olav; Sundlöv, Anna; Svensson, Johanna; Garresori, Herish; Kersten, Christian; Hofsli, Eva; Detlefsen, Sönke; Krogh, Merete; Sørbye, Halfdan; Knappskog, Stian (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      High-grade (HG) gastroenteropancreatic (GEP) neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN) are rare but have a very poor prognosis and represent a severely understudied class of tumours. Molecular data for HG GEP-NEN are limited, and ...
