      Background: Preoperative risk stratification is essential in tailoring endometrial cancer treatment, and biomarkers predicting lymph node metastasis and aggressive disease are aspired in clinical practice. DNA ploidy ...
    • Expression of L1CAM in curettage or high L1CAM level in preoperative blood samples predicts lymph node metastases and poor outcome in endometrial cancer patients 

      Tangen, Ingvild Løberg; Kopperud, Reidun Kristin; Visser, Nicole C.M.; Staff, Anne Cathrine; Tingulstad, Solveig; Marcickiewicz, Janusz; Amant, Frédéric; Bjørge, Line; Pijnenborg, Johanna M.A.; Salvesen, Helga; Werner, Henrica Maria Johanna; Trovik, Jone; Krakstad, Camilla (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-09)
      Background: Several studies have identified L1 cell adhesion molecule (L1CAM) as a strong prognostic marker in endometrial cancer. To further underline the clinical usefulness of this biomarker, we investigated L1CAM as a ...
    • Hormone receptor loss in endometrial carcinoma curettage predicts lymph node metastasis and poor outcome in prospective multicentre trial 

      Trovik, Jone; Wik, Elisabeth; Werner, Henrica Maria Johanna; Krakstad, Camilla; Helland, Harald; Vandenput, Ingrid; Njølstad, Tormund Salvesen; Stefansson, Ingunn; Marcickiewicz, Janusz; Tingulstad, Solveig; Staff, Anne Cathrine; Amant, Frédéric; Akslen, Lars A.; Salvesen, Helga Birgitte (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-11)
      Background: Preoperative histologic examination of tumour tissue is essential when deciding if endometrial cancer surgery should include lymph node sampling. We wanted to investigate if biomarkers could improve prediction ...
    • Late-week surgical treatment of endometrial cancer is associated with worse long-term outcome: Results from a prospective, multicenter study 

      Njølstad, Tormund Salvesen; Werner, Henrica Maria Johanna; Marcickiewicz, Janusz; Tingulstad, Solveig; Staff, Anne Cathrine; Oddenes, Klaus; Bjørge, Line; Engh, Marie Ellström; Woie, Kathrine; Tjugum, Jostein; Lode, Margaret Sævik; Amant, Frédéric; Salvesen, Helga; Trovik, Jone (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-08-03)
      Surgery is the cornerstone in primary endometrial cancer treatment, and with curative intent it constitutes total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oopherectomy. In addition, lymphadenectomy is performed in selected ...
