• Evaluation of the proliferation marker Ki-67 in a large prostatectomy cohort 

      Richardsen, Elin; Andersen, Sigve; Al-Saad, Samer; Rakaee, Mehrdad; Nordby, Yngve; Pedersen, Mona Irene; Ness, Nora; Grindstad, Thea K.W.; Movik, Ingeborg; Dønnem, Tom; Bremnes, Roy M.; Busund, Lill-Tove (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 ...

    • A gender specific improved survival related to stromal miR-143 and miR-145 expression in non-small cell lung cancer 

      Skjefstad, Kaja Konstanse; Johannessen, Charles; Grindstad, Thea K.W.; Kilvær, Thomas Karsten; Paulsen, Erna Elise; Pedersen, Mona Irene; Dønnem, Tom; Andersen, Sigve; Bremnes, Roy M.; Richardsen, Elin; Al-Saad, Samer; Busund, Lill-Tove (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-06-04)
      Micro RNAs (miRNA) are small non-coding RNAs that post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression. Dysregulation of miRNA cluster 143/145 has been reported in several malignancies, but their role in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains elusive. This study investigates the prognostic impact of miR-143 and miR-145 in primary tumors and metastatic lymph nodes in NSCLC tissue. Tissue from 553 ...
    • Progesterone receptors in prostate cancer: Progesterone receptor B is the isoform associated with disease progression 

      Grindstad, Thea K.W.; Richardsen, Elin; Andersen, Sigve; Skjefstad, Kaja Konstanse; Rakaee, Mehrdad; Dønnem, Tom; Ness, Nora; Nordby, Yngve; Bremnes, Roy M.; Al-Saad, Samer; Busund, Lill-Tove (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-07-27)
      The role of steroid hormones in carcinogenesis of the prostate is to some extent unraveled thorough the effect of androgen deprivation therapy on prostate cancer (PCa) progression. Other members of the steroid hormone family, such as progesterone, are also implicated in PCa, but progesterone’s role remains undefined. This study aimed to examine the distribution of progesterone receptor isoforms ...
