    • Patient-reported outcomes after curative treatment for prostate cancer with prostatectomy, primary radiotherapy or salvage radiotherapy 

      Sælen, Marie Grøn; Hjelle, Line Veronika; Aarsæther, Erling Johan; Knutsen, Tore; Andersen, Sigve; Bentzen, Anne Gry; Richardsen, Elin; Fosså, Sophie Dorothea; Haugnes, Hege Sagstuen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-06-24)
      Trials reporting adverse health outcomes (AHOs) in terms of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) after contemporary curative treatment of prostate cancer (PC) are hampered by study heterogeneity and lack of new treatment techniques. Particularly, the evidence regarding toxicities after radiotherapy (RT) with the volumetric arc therapy (VMAT) technique is limited, and comparisons between men ...
    • Serum Platinum retention and long-term effects in Testicular cancer survivors 

      Hjelle, Line Veronika (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2018-08-30)
      Today, the majority of testicular cancer patients are cured, and are expected to live 40 to 50 years after treatment. Some of these men experience late effects due to cisplatin treatment, of which second cancer and cardiovascular disease are among the most serious and potentially life threatening. Given the continuously increasing number of cancer survivors, in-depth investigations of treatment-induced ...
