      Thorsen, Lene; Courneya, Kerry S.; Steene-Johannessen, Jostein; Gran, Jon Michael; Haugnes, Hege Sagstuen; Negaard, Helene Francisca Stigter; Kiserud, Cecilie E.; Fosså, Sophie Dorothea (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-06-19)
      Physical activity (PA) has been associated with reduced mortality among cancer survivors, but no study has focused on testicular cancer survivors (TCSs). We aimed to investigate the association of PA measured twice during survivorship with overall mortality in TCSs. TCSs treated during 1980 to 1994 participated in a nationwide longitudinal survey between 1998 to 2002 (S1: n = 1392) and 2007 to 2009 ...

      Bjerring, Anders W.; Fosså, Sophie Dorothea; Haugnes, Hege Sagstuen; Nome, Ragnhild Veline; Stokke, Thomas Muri; Haugaa, Kristina; Kiserud, Cecilie E.; Edvardsen, Thor; Sarvari, Sebastian (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-11-05)
      Aims - Cisplatin-based chemotherapy (CBCT) is essential in the treatment of metastatic testicular cancer (TC) but has been associated with long-term risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Furthermore, cisplatin can be detected in the body decades after treatment. We aimed to evaluate the long-term impact of CBCT on cardiac function and morphology in TC survivors 30 years after treatment.< ...
    • Cardiovascular risk factors and pulmonary function in long-term survivors of testicular cancer 

      Haugnes, Hege Sagstuen (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2009-04-24)
      Testikkelkreft er den vanligste kreftformen blant unge menn, og >95 % blir i dag helbredet av sykdommen. Dermed er kunnskap om mulige seneffekter etter behandlingen viktig. <br>Avhandlingen ”Cardiovascular risk factors and pulmonary function in long-term survivors of testicular cancer” ble forsvart for graden ph.d 24. april 2009. Takket være effektiv cytostatikabehandling som ble tatt i bruk på ...

      Hellesnes, Ragnhild; Kvammen, Øivind; Myklebust, Tor Åge; Bremnes, Roy M.; Karlsdottir, Åsa; Negaard, Helene Francisca Stigter; Tandstad, Torgrim; Wilsgaard, Tom; Fosså, Sophie Dorothea; Haugnes, Hege Sagstuen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-10-09)
      Using complete information on total treatment burden, this population‐based study aimed to investigate second cancer (SC) risk in testicular cancer survivors (TCS) treated in the cisplatin era. The Cancer Registry of Norway identified 5,625 1‐year TCS diagnosed 1980–2009. Standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) were calculated to evaluate the total and site‐specific incidence of SC compared to the ...
    • Expression of miR-24-1-5p in Tumor Tissue Influences Prostate Cancer Recurrence: The PROCA-life Study 

      Stikbakke, Einar; Wilsgaard, Tom; Haugnes, Hege Sagstuen; Pedersen, Mona Irene; Knutsen, Tore; Støyten, Martin; Giovannucci, Edward; Eggen, Anne Elise; Thune, Inger; Richardsen, Elin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-02-23)
      The role of miR-24-1-5p and its prognostic implications associated with prostate cancer are mainly unknown. In a population-based cohort, the Prostate Cancer Study throughout life (PROCA-life), all men had a general health examination at study entry and were followed between 1994 and 2016. Patients with available tissue samples after a prostatectomy with curative intent were identified (n = 189). ...

      Background Older men (aged ≥75 years) with high risk, non-metastatic prostate cancer (PCa) are increasingly treated with curative therapy (surgery or radiotherapy). However, it is unclear if curative therapy prolongs life and improves health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in this age group compared to conservative therapy, which has evolved considerably during the last decade.<p> <p>Study ...
    • Serum miR371 in testicular germ cell cancer before and after orchiectomy, assessed by digital-droplet PCR in a prospective study 

      Myklebust, Mette Pernille; Thor, Anna; Rosenlund, Nina Benedikte; Gjengstø, Peder; Karlsdottir, Åsa; Brydøy, Marianne; Bercea, Bogdan Stefan; Olsen, Christian; Johnson, Ida; Berg, Mathilde I.; Langberg, Carl; Andreassen, Kristine; Kjellman, Anders; Haugnes, Hege Sagstuen; Dahl, Olav (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-08-02)
      MicroRNA-371a-3p (miR371) has been suggested as a sensitive biomarker in testicular germ cell cancer (TGCC). We aimed to compare miR371 with the classical biomarkers α-fetoprotein (AFP) and β-human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG<sub>β</sub>). Overall, 180 patients were prospectively enrolled in the study, with serum samples collected before and after orchiectomy. We compared the use of digital droplet ...
