30-day mortality in patients treated for brain metastases: extracranial causes dominate
Nieder, Carsten; Stanisavljevic, Luka; Aanes, Siv Gyda; Mannsåker, Bård; Haukland, Ellinor Christin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Background Established prognostic models, such as the diagnosis-specific graded prognostic assessment, were not designed to specifically address very short survival. Therefore, a brain metastases-specific 30-day mortality ... -
Early death after palliative radiation treatment: 30-, 35- and 40-day mortality data and statistically robust predictors
Nieder, Carsten; Stanisavljevic, Luka; Mannsåker, Bård; Haukland, Ellinor Christin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Background This study analyzed mortality after radiotherapy for bone metastases (287 courses). Endpoints such as treatment in the last month of life and death within 30, 35 and 40 days from start of radiotherapy were ... -
Implementation of Locoregional Adjuvant Radiotherapy for Breast Cancer in a Rural Healthcare Region: Toxicity Outcomes in the Initial Cohort
Nieder, Carsten; Ressheim, Joakim Grønning; Haukland, Ellinor Christin; Mannsåker, Bård (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Background/Aim: The aim of this study was to analyze the toxicity of locoregional adjuvant breast cancer radiotherapy after implementation of this service in a rural healthcare region with long travel distance. Patients ... -
Independent validation of a risk stratification model predicting survival in elderly patients irradiated for bone metastases
Nieder, Carsten; Stanisavljevic, Luka; Mannsåker, Bård; Haukland, Ellinor Christin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Background/Aim: Many patients with bone metastases receive palliative radiotherapy. However, treatment personalization tools are needed, due to heterogeneous survival. The aim of this study was to analyze the validity of ... -
The LabPS score: Inexpensive, Fast, and Site-agnostic Survival Prediction
Nieder, Carsten; Haukland, Ellinor Christin; Mannsåker, Bård; Dalhaug, Astrid (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Objectives: To provide a widely applicable, blood-biomarker-based and performance-status-based prognostic model, which predicts the survival of patients undergoing palliative non-brain radiotherapy. This model has already ... -
Palliative appropriateness criteria: external validation of a new method to evaluate the suitability of palliative radiotherapy fractionation
Nieder, Carsten; Haukland, Ellinor Christin; Mannsåker, Bård; Dalhaug, Astrid (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Background Recently, the palliative appropriateness criteria (PAC) score, a novel metric to aid clinical decision-making between different palliative radiotherapy fractionation regimens, has been developed. It includes ... -
Patterns of Care and Survival in Cancer Patients with Brain Metastases Receiving Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors
Nieder, Carsten; Mannsåker, Bård; Stanisavljevic, Luka; Haukland, Ellinor Christin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Introduction: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have become a mainstay of treatment for different cancer types. The purpose of this study was to evaluate patterns of care and overall survival (OS) after diagnosis of brain ... -
Shortened Palliative Radiotherapy Results in a Lower Rate of Treatment During the Last Month of Life
Nieder, Carsten; Haukland, Ellinor Christin; Mannsåker, Bård (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Introduction Palliative radiotherapy (PRT) during the last month of life (PRT30) should be avoided because relevant clinical benefits are unlikely to occur. While traditional short-course fractionation regimens are suitable ...
