    • Can current prognostic scores reliably guide treatment decisions in patients with brain metastases from malignant melanoma? 

      Nieder, Carsten; Marienhagen, Kirsten; Geinitz, Hans; Grosu, Anca L. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011)
      We evaluated the performance of the new 4-tiered melanoma-specific graded prognostic assessment (GPA) score and the previously published general GPA score in patients with brain metastases from malignant melanoma managed with different approaches including best supportive care. Materials and Methods: Retrospective analysis of 51 patients. Compared with the original analysis of the melanoma-specific ...

    • Have Changes in Systemic Treatment Improved Survival in Patients with Breast Cancer Metastatic to the Brain? 

      Nieder, Carsten; Marienhagen, Kirsten; Dalhaug, Astrid; Norum, Jan (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2008-07-16)
      Newly developed systemic treatment regimens might lead to improved survival also in the subgroup of breast cancer patients that harbour brain metastases. In order to examine this hypothesis, a matched pairs analysis was performed that involved one group of patients, which were treated after these new drugs were introduced, and one group of patients, which were treated approximately 10 years earlier. ...

    • Prognostic scores in brain metastases from breast cancer 

      Nieder, Carsten; Marienhagen, Kirsten; Astner, Sabrina T.; Molls, Michael (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2009-04-07)
      Background: Prognostic scores might be useful tools both in clinical practice and clinical trials, where they can be used as stratification parameter. The available scores for patients with brain metastases have never been tested specifically in patients with primary breast cancer. It is therefore unknown which score is most appropriate for these patients. <br> Methods: Five previously published ...

    • A semiautomatic tool for prostate segmentation in radiotherapy treatment planning 

      Schulz, Jörn; Skrøvseth, Stein Olav; Tømmerås, Veronika Kristine; Marienhagen, Kirsten; Godtliebsen, Fred (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-01-25)

    • Towards Improved Prognostic Scores Predicting Survival in Patients with Brain Metastases: A Pilot Study of Serum Lactate Dehydrogenase Levels 

      Nieder, Carsten; Marienhagen, Kirsten; Dalhaug, Astrid; Norum, Jan (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      Accurate prognostic information is desirable when counselling patients with brain metastases regarding their therapeutic options and life expectancy. Based on previous studies, we selected serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) as a promising factor on which we perform a pilot study investigating methodological aspects of biomarker studies in patients with brain metastases, before embarking on large-scale ...
