Artificial intelligence in BreastScreen Norway: a retrospective analysis of a cancer-enriched sample including 1254 breast cancer cases
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-03)Objectives To compare results of selected performance measures in mammographic screening for an artificial intelligence (AI) system versus independent double reading by radiologists. Methods In this retrospective ... -
Digital Image Analysis of Ki-67 Stained Tissue Microarrays and Recurrence in Tamoxifen-Treated Breast Cancer Patients
(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 ... -
Effects of scheduled exercise on cancer-related fatigue in women with early breast cancer
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-01)While physical activity during cancer treatment is found beneficial for breast cancer patients, evidence indicates ambiguous findings concerning effects of scheduled exercise programs on treatment-related symptoms. This ... -
Improved Machine Learning-Based Predictive Models for Breast Cancer Diagnosis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-03)Breast cancer death rates are higher than any other cancer in American women. Machine learning-based predictive models promise earlier detection techniques for breast cancer diagnosis. However, making an evaluation for ... -
Influence of pre-operative oral carbohydrate loading vs. standard fasting on tumor proliferation and clinical outcome in breast cancer patients - a randomized trial
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-11)Background Conflicting results have been reported on the influence of carbohydrates in breast cancer. Objective To determine the influence of pre-operative per-oral carbohydrate load on proliferation in breast ... -
Metabolic consequences of perioperative oral carbohydrates in breast cancer patients - an explorative study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-12)Background The metabolic consequences of preoperative carbohydrate load in breast cancer patients are not known. The present explorative study investigated the systemic and tumor metabolic changes after preoperative ... -
MiR-18a and miR-18b are expressed in the stroma of oestrogen receptor alpha negative breast cancers
(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 ... -
miRNA normalization enables joint analysis of several datasets to increase sensitivity and to reveal novel miRNAs differentially expressed in breast cancer
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-02)Different miRNA profiling protocols and technologies introduce differences in the resulting quantitative expression profiles. These include differences in the presence (and measurability) of certain miRNAs. We present and ... -
Our genes, our selves: hereditary breast cancer and biological citizenship in Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-03)In this paper we explore the rise of ‘the breast cancer gene’ as a field of medical, cultural and personal knowledge. We address its significance in the Norwegian public health care system in relation to so-called biological ... -
Prenatal BRCA1 epimutations contribute significantly to triple-negative breast cancer development
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Background Normal cell BRCA1 epimutations have been associated with increased risk of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). However, the fraction of TNBCs that may have BRCA1 epimutations as their underlying cause is ... -
Scientific supremacy as an obstacle to establishing and sustaining interdisciplinary dialogue across knowledge paradigms in health care and medicine
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)This is a response to a short communication on our research presented in Solbrække et al. (Med Health Care Philos 20(1):89–103, 2017), which raises a series of serious allegations. Our article explored the rise of ‘the ... -
Serum concentrations of active tamoxifen metabolites predict long-term survival in adjuvantly treated breast cancer patients
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Background Controversies exist as to whether the genetic polymorphisms of the enzymes responsible for the metabolism of tamoxifen can predict breast cancer outcome in patients using adjuvant tamoxifen. Direct measurement ... -
The role of microRNAs as predictors of response to tamoxifen treatment in breast cancer patients
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-10)Endocrine therapy is a key treatment strategy to control or eradicate hormone-responsive breast cancer. However, resistance to endocrine therapy leads to breast cancer relapse. The recent extension of adjuvant tamoxifen ...
