In vitro-stimulated IL-6 monocyte secretion and in vivo peripheral blood T lymphocyte activation uniquely predicted 15-year survival in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma
Aarstad, Helene Hersvik; Vintermyr, Olav Karsten; Ulvestad, Elling; Kross, Kenneth Wilfried; Heimdal, John-Helge; Aarstad, Hans Jørgen (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-06-16)The study was performed in order to determine whether peripheral blood monocyte in vitro function, and lymphocyte in vivo activation at diagnosis, was associated with HPV tumor infection status and 15-year survival in head ... -
The levels of IL-6 and soluble IL-33R are increased in the renal vein during surgery for clear cell renal cell carcinoma
Gudbrandsdottir, Gigja; Aarstad, Helene Hersvik; Hjelle, Karin Margrethe; Førde, Kristina; Reisæter, Lars Anders Rokne; Bostad, Leif; Aarstad, Hans Jørgen; Beisland, Christian (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Purpose The main aim was to map serum levels of IL-1/IL-6 family cytokines and relevant receptors from serum samples taken across treatment in patients with Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC). Additionally, we explored the possible ... -
