      Background: Although venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a known common complication in cancer patients, there is limited knowledge on patient-related and cancer-specific risk factors in the general population. The Scandinavian Thrombosis and Cancer (STAC) Cohort was established by merging individual data from three large Scandinavian cohorts (The Tromsø Study, the second Nord-Trøndelag Health Study, ...
    • Prothrombotic genotypes and risk of venous thromboembolism in occult cancer 

      Skille, Hanne; Paulsen, Benedikte; Hveem, Kristian; Severinsen, Marianne T.; Gabrielsen, Maiken Elvestad; Kristensen, Søren R.; Næss, Inger Anne; Hindberg, Kristian; Tjønneland, Anne; Brækkan, Sigrid Kufaas; Hansen, John-Bjarne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-07-01)
      Background - Studies have reported that the combination of some prothrombotic genotypes and overt cancer yields a synergistic effect on VTE risk. Whether individual prothrombotic genotypes or number of risk alleles in a genetic risk score (GRS) affect VTE risk in occult cancer have not been addressed. The aim of this study was to investigate the joint effect of five prothrombotic genotypes and occult ...
    • Survival after cancer-related venous thrombosis: the Scandinavian Thrombosis and Cancer Study 

      Crobach, Monique J.T.; Anijs, Rayna J.S.; Brækkan, Sigrid Kufaas; Severinsen, Marianne T.; Hammerstrøm, Jens; Skille, Hanne; Kristensen, Søren R.; Paulsen, Benedikte; Tjønneland, Anne; Versteeg, Henri H.; Overvad, Kim; Hansen, John Bjarne; Næss, Inger Anne; Cannegieter, Suzanne C. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-07-28)
      Patients with cancer have an increased risk of developing venous thromboembolism (VTE), and this combination is reported to result in poorer survival compared with cancer alone. This study aimed to investigate the impact of VTE on the survival of patients with cancer in a general population. The Scandinavian Thrombosis and Cancer (STAC) cohort, a population-based cohort including 144 952 participants ...
