(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      The development of cancer is driven by the accumulation of many oncogenesis-related genetic alterationsand tumorigenesis is triggered by complex networks of involved genes rather than independent actions. To explore the ...
    • High visceral fat percentage is associated with poor outcome in endometrial cancer 

      Mauland, Karen Klepsland; Eng, Øyvin Andre Solberg; Ytre-Hauge, Sigmund; Tangen, Ingvild Løberg; Berg, Anna; Salvesen, Helga; Salvesen, Øyvind; Krakstad, Camilla; Trovik, Jone; Høivik, Erling Andre; Werner, Henrica Maria Johanna; Mellgren, Gunnar; Haldorsen, Ingfrid S. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-10-19)
      Despite evidence of increased endometrial cancer (EC) risk in obese women, the impact of obesity on clinical and histological phenotype is poorly understood. This study explored abdominal fat volumes and fat distribution ...
    • Hydroxyurea synergizes with valproic acid in wild-type p53 acute myeloid leukaemia 

      Leitch, Calum; Osdal, Tereza; Andresen, Vibeke; Molland, Maren Kristine Butler; Kristiansen, Silje Elisabeth; Nguyen, Nhi Xuan; Bruserud, Øystein; Gjertsen, Bjørn Tore; McCormack, Emmet (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)
      Palliative care in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is inadequate. For elderly patients, unfit for intensive chemotherapy, median survival is 2–3 months. As such, there is urgent demand for low-toxic palliative alternatives. ...
    • Population distribution and ancestry of the cancer protective MDM2 SNP285 (rs117039649) 

      Knappskog, Stian; Gansmo, Liv Beathe; Dibirova, Khadizha; Metspalu, Andres; Cybulski, Cezary; Peterlongo, Paolo; Aaltonen, Lauri; Vatten, Lars Johan; Romundstad, Pål Richard; Hveem, Kristian; Devilee, Peter; Evans, Gareth D; Lin, Dongxin; Van Camp, Guy; Manolopoulos, Vangelis G; Osorio, Ana; Milani, Lili; Ozcelik, Tayfun; Zalloua, Pierre; Mouzaya, Francis; Bliznetz, Elena; Balanovska, Elena; Pocheshkova, Elvira; Kucinskas, Vaidutis; Atramentova, Lubov; Nymadawa, Pagbajabyn; Titov, Konstantin; Lavryashina, Maria; Yusupov, Yuldash; Bogdanova, Natalia; Koshel, Sergey; Zamora, Jorge; Wedge, David C.; Charlesworth, Deborah; Dörk, Thilo; Balanovsky, Oleg; Lønning, Per Eystein (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-04-18)
      The MDM2 promoter SNP285C is located on the SNP309G allele. While SNP309G enhances Sp1 transcription factor binding and MDM2 transcription, SNP285C antagonizes Sp1 binding and reduces the risk of breast-, ovary- and ...
    • Tissue and imaging biomarkers for hypoxia predict poor outcome in endometrial cancer
