• Digital Image Analysis of Ki-67 Stained Tissue Microarrays and Recurrence in Tamoxifen-Treated Breast Cancer Patients 

      Egeland, Nina Gran; Jonsdottir, Kristin; Lauridsen, Kristina Lystlund; Skaland, Ivar; Hjorth, Cathrine F.; Gudlaugsson, Einar; Hamilton-Dutoit, Stephen Jacques; Lash, Timothy L.; Cronin-Fenton, Deidre; Janssen, Emiel (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-07)
      Purpose: The proliferation marker Ki-67 has been used as a prognostic marker to separate low- and high-risk breast cancer subtypes and guide treatment decisions for adjuvant chemotherapy. The association of Ki-67 with ...
    • Discovery and Validation of Biomarkers in Breast Cancer 

      Egeland, Nina Gran (PhD thesis UiS;546, Doctoral thesis, 2020-09)
      Worldwide, breast cancer is the most common malignancy among women, and although treatment and prognosis have improved substantially over the last decades, for some patients the risk of recurrence remains for several years ...
    • Metabolic consequences of perioperative oral carbohydrates in breast cancer patients - an explorative study 

      Lende, Tone Hoel; Austdal, Marie; Bathen, Tone Frost; Varhaugvik, Anne Elin; Skaland, Ivar; Gudlaugsson, Einar; Egeland, Nina Gran; Lunde, Siri; Akslen, Lars A.; Jonsdottir, Kristin; Janssen, Emiel; Søiland, Håvard; Baak, Jan P.A. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-12)

    • MiR-18a and miR-18b are expressed in the stroma of oestrogen receptor alpha negative breast cancers 

      Egeland, Nina Gran; Jonsdottir, Kristin; Aure, Miriam Ragle; Sahlberg, Kristine Kleivi; Kristensen, Vessela N.; Cronin-Fenton, Deirdre; Skaland, Ivar; Gudlaugsson, Einar; Baak, Jan P.A.; Janssen, Emiel (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-05)
      Background Previously, we have shown that miR-18a and miR-18b gene expression strongly correlates with high proliferation, oestrogen receptor -negativity (ER−), cytokeratin 5/6 positivity and basal-like features of breast ...
    • Validation study of MARCKSL1 as a prognostic factor in lymph node-negative breast cancer patients 

      Egeland, Nina Gran; Austdal, Marie; Van Diermen, Bianca; Rewcastle, Emma; Gudlaugsson, Einar; Baak, Jan P.A.; Skaland, Ivar; Janssen, Emiel; Jonsdottir, Kristin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Protein expression of Myristoylated alanine-rich C kinase substrate like-1 (MARCKSL1) has been identified as a prognostic factor in lymph-node negative (LN-) breast cancer patients. We aim to validate MARCKSL1 protein ...
