High expression of PDGFR-β in prostate cancer stroma is independently associated with clinical and biochemical prostate cancer recurrence
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-02-24)
Due to a lack of sufficient diagnostic tools to predict aggressive disease, there is a significant overtreatment of patients with prostate cancer. Platelet derived growth factors (PDGFs) and their receptors (PDGFRs) are key regulators of mesenchymal cells in the tumor microenvironment, and has been associated with unfavorable outcome in several other cancers. Herein, we aimed to investigate the ...
Inflammation of mammary adipose tissue occurs in overweight and obese patients exhibiting early-stage breast cancer
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-05-03)
Growing evidence indicates that adiposity is associated with breast cancer risk and negatively affects breast cancer recurrence and survival, a paracrine role of mammary adipose tissue being very likely in this process. In contrast to other adipose depots, occurrence of a sub-inflammatory state of mammary adipose tissue defined by dying adipocytes surrounded by macrophages forming crown-like structures ...
Evaluation of the proliferation marker Ki-67 in a large prostatectomy cohort.
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-11-15)
The tumor proliferation index marker Ki-67 is strongly associated with tumor cell proliferation,
growth and progression, and is widely used in routine clinicopathological investigation.
Prostate cancer is a complex multifaceted and biologically heterogeneous disease, and
overtreatment of localized, low volume indolent tumors, is evident. Here, we aimed to
assess Ki-67 expression and related ...
The prognostic role of immune checkpoint markers programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) and programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) in a large, multicenter prostate cancer cohort
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-03-01)
Programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) and its ligand Programmed death ligand
1 (PD-L1) have gained massive attention in cancer research due to recent availability
and their targeted antitumor effects. Their role in prostate cancer is still undetermined.
We constructed tissue microarrays from prostatectomy specimens from 535 prostate
cancer patients. Following validation of antibodies, ...
Stromal Expression of MiR-21 Predicts Biochemical Failure in Prostate Cancer Patients with Gleason Score 6
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014)
The impact of MET, IGF-1, IGF1R expression and EGFR mutations on survival of patients with non-small-cell lung cancer
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-07-25)
Introduction: <br>
To compare the efficacy of silver in situ hybridization (SISH) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) in detecting MET and IGF1R alterations and to investigate their prevalence and prognostic significance. A possible correlation between MET receptor expression, MET gene alterations and the two most frequent occurring EGFR gene mutations was also investigated.
<br>Materials and ...
Presence of TMPRSS2-ERG is associated with alterations of the metabolic profile in human prostate cancer
(Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-06-03)
TMPRSS2-ERG has been proposed to be a prognostic marker for prostate
cancer. The aim of this study was to identify changes in metabolism, genes and
biochemical recurrence related to TMPRSS2-ERG by using an integrated approach,
combining metabolomics, transcriptomics, histopathology and clinical data in a cohort
of 129 human prostate samples (41 patients). Metabolic analyses revealed lower
con ...
Prognostic effect of intratumoral neutrophils across histological subtypes of non-small cell lung cancer
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016)
Recent data indicate that tumor-associated neutrophils (TANs) serve a dual role in tumor progression and regression. CD66b is a neutrophil marker and has been associated with patient outcome in various cancers. However, its clinical impact in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains controversial. 536 NSCLC patients, of which 172 harbored lymph node metastases, were included in this study. Tissue ...
Fibroblast miR-210 overexpression is independently associated with clinical failure in Prostate Cancer – a multicenter (in situ hybridization) study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-11-08)
There is a need for better prognostication in prostate cancer (PC). “The micromanager of hypoxia”,
microRNA-210 (miR-210) is directly linked to hypoxia, is overexpressed in PC and has been implied
in tumor cell-fibroblast crosstalk. We investigated the prognostic impact of miR-210 in tumor cells
and fibroblasts in PC. Tumor and stromal samples from a multicenter PC cohort of 535 prostatectomy
patients ...
Estrogen receptors α and β and aromatase as independent predictors for prostate cancer outcome
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-09-09)
Androgens are considered important in normal prostate physiology and prostate cancer (PCa)
pathogenesis. However, androgen-targeted treatment preventing PCa recurrence is still lacking.
This indicates additional mediators contributing to cancer development. We sought to determine the
prognostic significance of estrogen receptors, ERα and -β, and the aromatase enzyme in PCa. Tissue
microarrays ...
