    • Disseminated tumor cells as selection marker and monitoring tool for secondary adjuvant treatment in early breast cancer. Descriptive results from an intervention study 

      Synnestvedt, Marit; Borgen, Elin; Wist, Erik; Wiedswang, Gro; Weyde, Kjetil; Risberg, Terje; Kersten, Christian; Mjaaland, Ingvil; Vindi, Lise; Schirmer, Cecilie; Nesland, Jahn M; Naume, Bjørn (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012-12-22)
      Background: Presence of disseminated tumor cells (DTCs) in bone marrow (BM) after completion of systemic adjuvant treatment predicts reduced survival in breast cancer. The present study explores the use of DTCs to identify adjuvant insufficiently treated patients to be offered secondary adjuvant treatment intervention, and as a surrogate marker for therapy response.<p> <p>Methods: A total of ...

    • EMMPRIN is associated with S100A4 and predicts patient outcome in colorectal cancer 

      Boye, Kjetil; Nesland, Jahn M; Sandstad, Berit; Haugen, Mads Haugland; Mælandsmo, Gunhild; Flatmark, Kjersti (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012-07-10)
      BACKGROUND: Proteolytic enzymes and their regulators have important biological roles in colorectal cancer by stimulating invasion and metastasis, which makes these factors attractive as potential prognostic biomarkers. METHODS: The expression of extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer (EMMPRIN) was characterised using immunohistochemistry in primary tumours from a cohort of 277 prospectively ...

    • Persistence of disseminated tumor cells after neoadjuvant treatment for locally advanced breast cancer predicts poor survival 

      Mathiesen, Randi Margit Ruud; Borgen, Elin; Renolen, Anne; Løkkevik, Erik; Nesland, Jahn M; Anker, Gun Birgitta; Østenstad, Bjørn; Lundgren, Steinar; Risberg, Terje; Mjaaland, Ingvil; Kvalheim, Gunnar; Lønning, Per Eystein; Naume, Bjørn (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012-08-14)
      <i>Introduction</i> - Presence of disseminated tumor cells (DTCs) in bone marrow (BM) and circulating tumor cells (CTC) in peripheral blood (PB) predicts reduced survival in early breast cancer. The aim of this study was to determine the presence of and alterations in DTC- and CTC-status in locally advanced breast cancer patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) and to evaluate their ...

    • Prognostic significance of S100A4 expression in stage II and III colorectal cancer: results from a population-based series and a randomized phase III study on adjuvant chemotherapy 

      Pedersen, Kjetil Boye; Jacob, Havjin; Frikstad, Kari-Anne; Nesland, Jahn M; Mælandsmo, Gunhild; Dahl, Olav; Nesbakken, Arild; Flatmark, Kjersti (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-06-08)
      Current clinical algorithms are unable to precisely predict which colorectal cancer patients would benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy, and there is a need for novel biomarkers to improve the selection of patients. The metastasis-promoting protein S100A4 predicts poor outcome in colorectal cancer, but whether it could be used to guide clinical decision making remains to be resolved. S100A4 exp ...
