Early prediction of response to radiotherapy and androgen-deprivation therapy in prostate cancer by repeated functional MRI: a preclinical study
Røe, Kathrine; Kakar, Manish; Seierstad, Therese; Ree, Anne H.; Olsen, Dag R. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-06-08)Background: In modern cancer medicine, morphological magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is routinely used in diagnostics, treatment planning and assessment of therapeutic efficacy. During the past decade, functional imaging ... -
Liposomal doxorubicin improves radiotherapy response in hypoxic prostate cancer xenografts
Hagtvet, Eirik; Røe, Kathrine; Olsen, Dag R. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-10-07)Background: Tumor vasculature frequently fails to supply sufficient levels of oxygen to tumor tissue resulting in radioresistant hypoxic tumors. To improve therapeutic outcome radiotherapy (RT) may be combined with cytotoxic ... -
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer-response evaluation and prediction of response to treatment using dynamic contrast-enhanced and diffusion-weighted MR imaging
Fangberget, A.; Nilsen, L. B.; Hole, Knut Håkon; Holmen, M. M.; Engebraaten, O.; Naume, B.; Smith, H.-J.; Olsen, Dag R.; Seierstad, Therese (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011)Objective To explore the predictive value of MRI parameters and tumour characteristics before neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) and to compare changes in tumour size and tumour apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) during ... -
Vascular responses to radiotherapy and androgen-deprivation therapy in experimental prostate cancer
Røe, Kathrine; Mikalsen, Lars T. G.; Kogel, Albert J. van der; Bussink, Johan; Lyng, Heidi; Olsen, Dag R. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-05-23)Background: Radiotherapy (RT) and androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) are standard treatments for advanced prostate cancer (PC). Tumor vascularization is recognized as an important physiological feature likely to impact on ...
