      Høye, Eirik; Fromm, Bastian; Böttger, Paul H.M.; Domanska, Diana; Kristensen, Annette Torgunrud; Lund-Andersen, Christin; Abrahamsen, Torveig Weum; Fretland, Åsmund Avdem; Dagenborg, Vegar Johansen; Lorenz, Susanne; Edwin, Bjørn von Gohren; Hovig, Eivind; Flatmark, Kjersti (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-14)
      Although microRNAs (miRNAs) contribute to all hallmarks of cancer, miRNA dysregulation in metastasis remains poorly understood. The aim of this work was to reliably identify miRNAs associated with metastatic progression of colorectal cancer (CRC) using novel and previously published nextgeneration sequencing (NGS) datasets generated from 268 samples of primary (pCRC) and metastatic CRC (mCRC; ...

      Laparoscopic and open liver resection have not been compared in randomized trials. The aim of the current study was to compare the inflammatory response after laparoscopic and open resection of colorectal liver metastases (CLM) in a randomized controlled trial. This was a predefined exploratory substudy within the Oslo CoMetstudy. Forty-five patients with CLM were randomized to laparoscopic (n ...

Very limited data exist comparing findings in pCRC and matched CLM.<p> <p>Patients and methods: Fifty-eight patients with available pCRC and matched CLM (57/58 microsatellite stable) were ...
    • Molecular signatures reflecting microenvironmental metabolism and chemotherapy-induced immunogenic cell death in colorectal liver metastases 

      Østrup, Olga; Dagenborg, Vegar Johansen; Rødland, Einar Andreas; Skarpeteig, Veronica; Silwal-Pandit, Laxmi; Grzyb, Krzysztof; Berstad, Audun Elnæs; Fretland, Åsmund Avdem; Mælandsmo, Gunhild; Børresen-Dale, Anne-Lise; Ree, Anne Hansen; Edwin, Bjørn; Nygaard, Vigdis; Flatmark, Kjersti (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-07-18)
      Background: Metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) is associated with highly variable clinical outcome and response to therapy. The recently identified consensus molecular subtypes (CMS1-4) have prognostic and therapeutic implications in primary CRC, but whether these subtypes are valid for metastatic disease is unclear. We performed multi-level analyses of resectable CRC liver metastases (CLM) to ...
    • T cell receptor repertoire sequencing reveals chemotherapy-driven clonal expansion in colorectal liver metastases 

      Høye, Eirik; Dagenborg, Vegar Johansen; Kristensen, Annette Torgunrud; Lund-Andersen, Christin; Fretland, Åsmund Avdem; Lorenz, Susanne; Edwin, Bjørn von Gohren; Hovig, Eivind; Fromm, Bastian; Inderberg, Else Marit; Greiff, Victor; Ree, Anne Hansen; Flatmark, Kjersti (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-10)
      Background - Colorectal liver metastasis (CLM) is a leading cause of colorectal cancer mortality, and the response to immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI) in microsatellite-stable CRC has been disappointing. Administration of cytotoxic chemotherapy may cause increased density of tumor-infiltrating T cells, which has been associated with improved response to ICI. This study aimed to quantify and ...
