Elevated microsatellite alterations at selected tetranucleotides in early-stage colorectal cancers with and without high-frequency microsatellite instability: same, same but different?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-07)Microsatellite instability (MSI) is associated with better prognosis in colorectal cancer (CRC). Elevated microsatellite alterations at selected tetranucleotides (EMAST) is a less-understood form of MSI. Here, we aim to ... -
Emergency resuscitative thoracotomy performed in European civilian trauma patients with blunt or penetrating injuries: a systematic review
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Purpose: Emergency resuscitative thoracotomy (ERT) is a lifesaving procedure in selected patients. Indications are still being debated, but outcome in blunt trauma is believed to be poor. Recent reports from European ... -
Factors predicting the use of therapeutic hypothermia and survival in unconscious out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients admitted to the ICU
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-07-23)Introduction: Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) was adopted early in Norway. Since 2004 the general recommendation has been to cool all unconscious OHCA patients treated in the intensive ... -
Impact of pre-diagnostic triglycerides and HDL-cholesterol on breast cancer recurrence and survival by breast cancer subtypes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-06-15)Background High triglycerides and low levels of high density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol are observed to promote tumor growth. However, whether breast cancer heterogeneity may explain the contradictory influence of ... -
Long-term follow-up and survivorship after completing systematic surveillance in stage I–III colorectal cancer: who is still at risk?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-09)Purpose: In patients with a high life expectancy at the time of surgery for colorectal cancer (CRC), the long-term outcome may be influenced by factors other than their cancer. We aimed to investigate the long-term outcome ... -
Long-term survival and quality of life after intensive care for patients 80 years of age or older

Microvascular proliferation is associated with aggressive tumour features and reduced survival in lung adenocarcinoma
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-10)Despite new treatment options in lung cancer, there is still a need for better biomarkers to assist in therapy decisions. Angiogenesis has been associated with tumour growth and dissemination, and the vascular proliferation ... -
National Norwegian Practice Patterns for Surgical Treatment of Kidney Cancer Tumors ≤7 cm: Adherence to Changes in Guidelines May Improve Overall Survival
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-08)Background: Guidelines on surgical treatment for kidney cancer (KC) have changed over the last 10 yr. We present population-based data for patients with KC tumors ≤7 cm from 2008 to 2013 to investigate whether surgical ... -
Overall survival after resection for colon cancer in a national cohort study was adversely affected by TNM stage, lymph node ratio, gender, and old age
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-05-12)Background A national surveillance program of colon cancer treatment was introduced in 2007. We examined prognostic factors for colon cancer operated in 2000 with an aim of improving survival in the new program and a special ...
