      Krakstad, Camilla; Birkeland, Even; Seidel, Danila; Kusonmano, Kanthida; Petersen, Kjell; Mjøs, Siv; Høivik, Erling Andre; Wik, Elisabeth; Halle, Mari Kyllesø; Øyan, Anne Margrete; Kalland, Karl-Henning; Werner, Henrica Maria Johanna; Trovik, Jone; Salvesen, Helga Birgitte (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-12-27)
      Background: Despite being the most common pelvic gynecologic malignancy in industrialized countries, no targeted therapies are available for patients with metastatic endometrial carcinoma. In order to improve treatment, ...
    • KRAS gene amplification and overexpression but not mutation associates with aggressive and metastatic endometrial cancer 

      Birkeland, Even; Wik, Elisabeth; Mjøs, Siv; Høivik, Erling Andre; Trovik, Jone; Werner, Henrica Maria Johanna; Kusonmano, Kanthida; Petersen, Kjell; Ræder, Maria B.; Holst, Frederik; Øyan, Anne Margrete; Kalland, Karl-Henning; Akslen, Lars A.; Simon, Ronald; Krakstad, Camilla; Salvesen, Helga Birgitte (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012)
      BACKGROUND: Three quarter of endometrial carcinomas are treated at early stage. Still, 15 to 20% of these patients experience recurrence, with little effect from systemic therapies. Homo sapiens v-Ki-ras2 Kirsten rat sarcoma ...
    • An mri-based radiomic prognostic index predicts poor outcome and specific genetic alterations in endometrial cancer 

      Jacob, Havjin; Dybvik, Julie Andrea; Ytre-Hauge, Sigmund; Fasmer, Kristine E.; Høivik, Erling Andre; Trovik, Jone; Krakstad, Camilla; Haldorsen, Ingfrid S. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Integrative tumor characterization linking radiomic profiles to corresponding gene expression profiles has the potential to identify specific genetic alterations based on non-invasive radiomic profiling in cancer. The aim ...
    • Tissue and imaging biomarkers for hypoxia predict poor outcome in endometrial cancer 

      Berg, Anna; Fasmer, Kristine Eldevik; Mauland, Karen Klepsland; Ytre-Hauge, Sigmund; Høivik, Erling Andre; Husby, Jenny Hild Aase; Tangen, Ingvild Løberg; Trovik, Jone; Halle, Mari Kyllesø; Woie, Kathrine; Bjørge, Line; Bjørnerud, Atle; Salvesen, Helga; Werner, Henrica Maria Johanna; Krakstad, Camilla; Haldorsen, Ingfrid S. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-09-13)
      Hypoxia is frequent in solid tumors and linked to aggressive phenotypes and therapy resistance. We explored expression patterns of the proposed hypoxia marker HIF-1α in endometrial cancer (EC) and investigate whether ...
