On the diagnosis of early stage Prostate Cancer with an emphasis on Prostate Cancer Gene 3 (PCA3) and Real-Time Elastography (RTE)
Nygård, Yngve (Doctoral thesis, 2016-09-23)Aims: To investigate real-time elastography (RTE} and prostate cancer gene 3 (PCA3} to see if these emerging markers/methods could contribute to a faster and more precise diagnosis and also to investigate the possibility ... -
A positive Real-Time Elastography (RTE) combined with a Prostate Cancer Gene 3 (PCA3) score above 35 convey a high probability of intermediate- or high-risk prostate cancer in patient admitted for primary prostate biopsy
Nygård, Yngve; Haukaas, Svein A.; Halvorsen, Ole J.; Gravdal, Karsten; Frugård, Jannicke; Akslen, Lars A.; Beisland, Christian (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-07-08)Background: The standard of care in patients with suspected prostate cancer (PCa) is systematic prostate biopsies. This approach leads to unnecessary biopsies in patients without PCa and also to the detection of clinical ... -
Ten-Year Results From a Phase II Study on Image Guided, Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy With Simultaneous Integrated Boost in High-Risk Prostate Cancer
Ekanger, Christian; Helle, Svein Inge; Heinrich, Daniel; Johannessen, Dag Clement; Karlsdottir, Åsa; Nygård, Yngve; Halvorsen, Ole Johan; Reisæter, Lars Anders Rokne; Kvåle, Rune; Hysing, Liv Bolstad; Dahl, Olav (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Purpose There is no consensus on how to treat high-risk prostate cancer, and long-term results from hypofractionated radiation therapy are lacking. We report 10-year results after image guided, intensity modulated radiation ...
