    • A comparison of CT based measures of skeletal muscle mass and density from the Th4 and L3 levels in patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer 

      Grønberg, Bjørn Henning; Sjøblom, Bjørg; Wentzel-Larsen, Tore; Baracos, Vickie Elaine; Hjermstad, Marianne Jensen; Aass, Nina Kathrine; Bremnes, Roy M.; Fløtten, Øystein; Bye, Asta; Jordhøy, Marit Slaaen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-09-25)
      Background:<br> Muscle mass and density assessed from CT-images at the L3 level are prognostic for survival and predict toxicity in cancer patients. However, L3 is not always included on routine CT-scans. We aimed to investigate whether images at the Th4 level may be used instead. <br> Methods:<br> Patients from three chemotherapy trials in advanced NSCLC were eligible (n = 1305). Skeletal muscle ...

    • Duration of Lactation, Maternal Metabolic Profile, and Body Composition in the Norwegian EBBA I-Study 

      Tørris, Christine; Thune, Inger; Emaus, A; Finstad, SE; Bye, Asta; Furberg, AS; Barrett, Emily S.; Jasienska, G; Ellison, P; Hjartåker, Anette (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      There is conflicting evidence as to whether duration of lactation may decrease the risk of subsequent development of an unfavorable maternal metabolic profile, including overweight and obesity. We hypothesized that duration of lactation is associated with a more favorable metabolic profile and healthier anthropometric measurements. Ninety-eight parous women were studied from the Norwegian EBBAI-study ...

    • Muscle mass and association to quality of life in non-small cell lung cancer patients 

      Bye, Asta; Sjøblom, Bjørg; Wentzel-Larsen, Tore; Grønberg, Bjørn Henning; Baracos, Vickie E.; Hjermstad, Marianne Jensen; Aass, Nina Kathrine; Bremnes, Roy M.; Fløtten, Øystein; Jordhøy, Marit Slaaen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-05-10)
      Background<br> Cancer wasting is characterized by muscle loss and may contribute to fatigue and poor quality of life (QoL). Our aim was to investigate associations between skeletal muscle index (SMI) and skeletal muscle radiodensity (SMD) and selected QoL outcomes in advanced non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) at diagnosis.<p> Methods<br> Baseline data from patients with stage IIIB/IV NSCLC and ...

    • The Palliative Radiotherapy and Inflammation Study (PRAIS) - Protocol for a longitudinal observational multicenter study on patients with cancer induced bone pain 11 Medical and Health Sciences 1103 Clinical Sciences 

      Habberstad, Ragnhild H; Frøseth, Trude Camilla Salvesen; Aass, Nina Kathrine; Abramova, Tatiana Mikhailovna; Baas, Theo; Mørkeset, Siri Tessem; Caraceni, Augusto; Laird, Barry J; Boland, Jason W.; Rossi, Romina; Garcia-Alonso, Elena; Stensheim, Hanne; Loge, Jon Håvard; Hjermstad, Marianne Jensen; Bjerkeset, Ellen; Bye, Asta; Lund, Jo-Åsmund; Solheim, Tora Skeidsvoll; Vagnildhaug, Ola Magne; Brunelli, Cinzia; Damås, Jan Kristian; Mollnes, Tom Eirik; Kaasa, Stein; Klepstad, Pål (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-09-28)
      <i><p>Background</i>: Radiation therapy (RT) results in pain relief for about 6 of 10 patients with cancer induced bone pain (CIBP) caused by bone metastases. The high number of non-responders, the long median time from RT to pain response and the risk of adverse effects, makes it important to determine predictors of treatment response. Clinical features such as cancer type, performance status and ...
