Are 90% of deaths from cancer caused by metastases?
Dillekås, Hanna; Rogers, Michael S.; Straume, Oddbjørn (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Numerous publications have stated that metastases are responsible for 90% of cancer deaths, but data underlying this assertion has been lacking. Our objective was to determine what proportions of cancer deaths are caused ... -
Distant metastasis dynamics following subsequent surgeries after primary breast cancer removal
Demicheli, Romano; Dillekås, Hanna; Straume, Oddbjørn; Biganzoli, Elia (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background: The aim of the research was to separate the distant metastasis (DM) enhancing effect due to breast tumour removal from that due to surgical manoeuvre by itself. Methods: DM dynamics following surgery for ... -
Importance of physical trauma on recurrence of breast cancer : Can tissue trauma synchronize growth of dormant micrometastases?
Dillekås, Hanna (Doctoral thesis, 2020-06-04)Background Surgical excision of the primary tumor is an essential part of breast cancer treatment. While breast cancer prognosis has improved dramatically over the past decades, late relapses after apparently successful ... -
The link between wound healing and escape from tumor dormancy
Dillekås, Hanna; Straume, Oddbjørn (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Tumor dormancy is considered one of the major unsolved questions in cancer biology. Understanding the mechanisms responsible for maintaining and interrupting dormancy would be a major step towards preventing overt metastatic ... -
The recurrence pattern following delayed breast reconstruction after mastectomy for breast cancer suggests a systemic effect of surgery on occult dormant micrometastases
Dillekås, Hanna; Demicheli, Romano; Ardoino, Ilaria; Jensen, Svein Arthur; Biganzoli, Elia; Straume, Oddbjørn (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)The purpose of this study was to characterize the recurrence dynamics in breast cancer patients after delayed reconstruction. We hypothesized that surgical reconstruction might stimulate dormant micrometastases and reduce ...
