The acute phase reaction and its prognostic impact in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma: Single biomarkers including c-reactive protein versus biomarker profiles
Aarstad, Helene Hersvik; Moe, Svein Erik Emblem; Bruserud, Øystein; Lybak, Stein; Aarstad, Hans Jørgen; Tvedt, Tor Henrik Anderson (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)C-reactive protein (CRP) has a prognostic impact in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). However, the acute phase reaction involves many other proteins depending on its inducing events, including various cytokines ... -
The Biological Context of C-Reactive Protein as a Prognostic Marker in Renal Cell Carcinoma: Studies on the Acute Phase Cytokine Profile
Aarstad, Helene Hersvik; Gudbrandsdottir, Gigja; Hjelle, Karin; Bostad, Leif; Bruserud, Øystein; Tvedt, Tor Henrik Anderson; Beisland, Christian (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)High serum levels of the acute phase protein C-reactive protein (CRP) are associated with an adverse prognosis in renal cancer. The acute phase reaction is cytokine-driven and includes a wide range of inflammatory mediators. ... -
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 ... -
Serum levels of the IL-6 family of cytokines predict prognosis in renal cell carcinoma (RCC)
Gudbrandsdottir, Gigja; Aarstad, Helene Hersvik; Bostad, Leif; Hjelle, Karin; Aarstad, Hans Jørgen; Bruserud, Øystein; Tvedt, Tor Henrik Anderson; Beisland, Christian (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Purpose An improved understanding of RCC immunology should shed further light on RCC tumor biology. Our objective was to study to what extent serum levels of the IL-6 family of cytokines at diagnosis were relevant to ...
