High-dose chemoradiotherapy followed by surgery versus surgery alone in esophageal cancer: a retrospective cohort study
Hurmuzlu, Meysan; Øvrebø, Kjell; Monge, Odd R.; Smaaland, Rune; Wentzel-Larsen, Tore; Viste, Asgaut (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010-06-01)Background We aimed to assess whether high-dose preoperative chemoradiotherapy (CRT) improves outcome in esophageal cancer patients compared to surgery alone and to define possible prognostic factors for overall survival. ... -
Influence of microsatellite instability and KRAS and BRAF mutations on lymph node harvest in stage I–III colon cancers
Berg, Marianne; Guriby, Marianne; Nordgård, Oddmund; Nedrebø, Bjørn Steinar Olden; Ahlquist, Terje Cruickshank; Smaaland, Rune; Oltedal, Satu; Søreide, Jon Arne; Kørner, Hartwig; Lothe, Ragnhild A.; Søreide, Kjetil (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)Lymph node (LN) harvest is influenced by several factors, including tumor genetics. Microsatellite instability (MSI) is associated with improved node harvest, but the association to other genetic factors is largely unknown. ... -
Molecular subtypes in stage II-III colon cancer defined by genomic instability: Early recurrence-risk associated with a high copy-number variation and loss of RUNX3 and CDKN2A
Berg, Marianne; Nordgård, Oddmund; Kørner, Hartwig; Oltedal, Satu; Smaaland, Rune; Søreide, Jon Arne; Søreide, Kjetil (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-04-16)Objective: We sought to investigate various molecular subtypes defined by genomic instability that may be related to early death and recurrence in colon cancer. Methods: We sought to investigate various molecular subtypes ... -
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy versus surgery first for resectable pancreatic cancer (Norwegian Pancreatic Cancer Trial - 1 (NorPACT-1)) – study protocol for a national multicentre randomized controlled trial
Labori, Knut Jørgen; Lassen, Kristoffer; Hoem, Dag; Grønbech, Jon Erik; Søreide, Jon Arne; Mortensen, Kim Erlend; Smaaland, Rune; Sorbye, Halfdan; Verbeke, Caroline Sophie; Dueland, Svein (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-08-25)Background: Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death. While surgical resection remains the foundation for potentially curative treatment, survival benefit is achieved with adjuvant oncological ...
