• Can an inadequate cervical cytology sample in ThinPrep be converted to a satisfactory sample by processing it with a SurePath preparation? 

      Sørbye, Sveinung; Pedersen, Mette Kristin; Ekeberg, Bente; Wiliams, Merete E. Johansen; Sauer, Torill; Chen, Ying (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-08-22)
      Background: The Norwegian Cervical Cancer Screening Program recommends screening every 3 years for women between 25 and 69 years of age. There is a large difference in the percentage of unsatisfactory samples between laboratories that use different brands of liquid-based cytology. We wished to examine if inadequate ThinPrep samples could be satisfactory by processing them with the SurePath ...

      Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging as regulators of gene expression in pathogenesis, including cancer. Recently, lncRNAs have been implicated in progression of specific subtypes of breast cancer. One aggressive, basal-like subtype associates with increased EGFR signaling, while another, the HER2-enriched subtype, engages a kin of EGFR Based on the premise that EGFR-regulated lncRNAs might ...
    • Prognostic significance of S100A4-expression and subcellular localization in early-stage breast cancer 

      Egeland, Eivind Valen; Pedersen, Kjetil Boye; Park, Daehoon; Synnestvedt, Marit; Sauer, Torill; The Oslo Breast Cancer Consortium (OSBREAC); Naume, Bjørn; Borgen, Elin; Mælandsmo, Gunhild (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-01-05)
      Purpose: <br> Prognostic factors are useful in order to identify early-stage breast cancer patients who might benefit from adjuvant treatment. The metastasis-promoting protein S100A4 has previously been associated with poor prognosis in breast cancer patients. The protein is expressed in diverse subcellular compartments, including the cytoplasm, extracellular space, and nucleus. Nuclear expression ...
