    • Progesterone receptors in prostate cancer: Progesterone receptor B is the isoform associated with disease progression 

      Grindstad, Thea K.W.; Richardsen, Elin; Andersen, Sigve; Skjefstad, Kaja Konstanse; Rakaee, Mehrdad; Dønnem, Tom; Ness, Nora; Nordby, Yngve; Bremnes, Roy M.; Al-Saad, Samer; Busund, Lill-Tove (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-07-27)
      The role of steroid hormones in carcinogenesis of the prostate is to some extent unraveled thorough the effect of androgen deprivation therapy on prostate cancer (PCa) progression. Other members of the steroid hormone family, such as progesterone, are also implicated in PCa, but progesterone’s role remains undefined. This study aimed to examine the distribution of progesterone receptor isoforms ...

    • Prognostic effect of intratumoral neutrophils across histological subtypes of non-small cell lung cancer 

      Rakaee, Mehrdad; Busund, Lill-Tove; Paulsen, Erna-Elise; Richardsen, Elin; Al-Saad, Samer; Andersen, Sigve; Dønnem, Tom; Bremnes, Roy M.; Kilvær, Thomas Karsten (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      Recent data indicate that tumor-associated neutrophils (TANs) serve a dual role in tumor progression and regression. CD66b is a neutrophil marker and has been associated with patient outcome in various cancers. However, its clinical impact in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains controversial. 536 NSCLC patients, of which 172 harbored lymph node metastases, were included in this study. Tissue ...

    • Prognostic Value of Macrophage Phenotypes in Resectable Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer Assessed by Multiplex Immunohistochemistry 

      Rakaee, Mehrdad; Busund, Lill-Tove; Jamaly, Simin; Paulsen, Erna-Elise; Richardsen, Elin; Andersen, Sigve; Al-Saad, Samer; Bremnes, Roy M.; Dønnem, Tom; Kilvær, Thomas Karsten (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-02-10)
      Macrophages are important inflammatory cells that regulate innate and adaptive immunity in cancer. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are thought to differentiate into two main phenotypes: proinflammatory M1 and protumorigenic M2. Currently, the prognostic impact of TAMs and their M1 and M2 phenotypes is unclear in non–small cell cancer (NSCLC). The present study was set up to evaluate an approach ...

    • Proteomic analyses identify major vault protein as a prognostic biomarker for fatal prostate cancer 

      Ramberg, Håkon Andre; Richardsen, Elin; De Souza, Gustavo Antonio; Rakaee, Mehrdad; Stensland, Maria; Braadland, Peder Rustøen; Nygård, Ståle; Ögren, Olov; Guldvik, Ingrid; Berge, Viktor; Svindland, Aud; Tasken, Kristin Austlid; Andersen, Sigve (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-20)
      The demographic shift toward an older population will increase the number of prostate cancer cases. A challenge in the treatment of prostate cancer is to avoid undertreatment of patients at high risk of progression following curative treatment. These men can benefit from early salvage treatment. An explorative cohort consisting of tissue from 16 patients who underwent radical prostatectomy, and were ...

    • Tissue analyses reveal a potential immune-adjuvant function of FAP-1 positive fibroblasts in non-small cell lung cancer 

      Kilvær, Thomas Karsten; Rakaee, Mehrdad; Hellevik, Turid; Østman, Arne; Strell, Carina; Bremnes, Roy M.; Busund, Lill-Tove; Dønnem, Tom; Martinez, Inigo Zubiavrre (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-02-07)
      Objectives: <br> Selective targeting of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) has been proposed to synergize with immune-checkpoint inhibitors. While the roles of CAFs in cancer development are well described, their immune-regulatory properties remain incompletely understood. This study investigates correlations between CAF and immune-markers in tumor stroma from nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) ...
