Association between cigarette smoking, APC mutations and the risk of developing sporadic colorectal adenomas and carcinomas
Sæbø, Mona; Skjelbred, Camilla Furu; Breistein, Rebecca; Lothe, Inger Marie Bowitz; Hagen, Per Chr.; Bock, Günther; Hansteen, Inger-Lise; Kure, Elin H. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2006-03-17)BACKGROUND: The association between colorectal cancer (CRC) and smoking has not been consistent. Incomplete smoking history and association to a specific subset of CRC tumors have been proposed as explanations. The adenomatous ... -

Lorentzen, Anders; Vogel, Lotte K.; Lewinsky, Rikke H.; Sæbø, Mona; Skjelbred, Camilla Furu; Godiksen, Sine; Hoff, Geir; Lothe, Inger Marie Bowitz; Ikdahl, Tone; Kure, Elin H.; Mitchelmore, Cathy (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2007-10-12)BACKGROUND: It has recently been shown that NDRG2 mRNA is down-regulated or undetectable in several human cancers and cancer cell-lines. Although the function of NDRG2 is unknown, high NDRG2 expression correlates with ... -
GPX Pro198Leu and OGG1 Ser326Cys polymorphisms and risk of development of colorectal adenomas and colorectal cancer

Increased mRNA expression levels of ERCC1, OGG1 and RAI in colorectal adenomas and carcinomas
Sæbø, Mona; Skjelbred, Camilla Furu; Nexø, Bjørn Andersen; Wallin, Håkan; Hansteen, Inger-Lise; Vogel, Ulla; Kure, Elin H. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2006-08-16)BACKGROUND: The majority of colorectal cancer (CRC) cases develop through the adenoma-carcinoma pathway. If an increase in DNA repair expression is detected in both early adenomas and carcinomas it may indicate that low ... -

Meat, vegetables and genetic polymorphisms and the risk of colorectal carcinomas and adenomas
Skjelbred, Camilla Furu; Sæbø, Mona; Hjartåker, Anette; Grotmol, Tom; Hansteen, Inger-Lise; Tveit, Kjell M.; Hoff, Geir; Kure, Elin H. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2007-12-19)BACKGROUND: The risk of sporadic colorectal cancer (CRC) is mainly associated with lifestyle factors, particularly dietary factors. Diets high in red meat and fat and low in fruit and vegetables are associated with an ... -
Non-small cell lung cancer is characterised by a distinct inflammatory signature in serum compared with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Eide, Hanne Astrid; Halvorsen, Ann Rita; Sandhu, Vandana; Fåne, Anne; Berg, Janna; Haakensen, Vilde Drageset; Kure, Elin H.; Brustugun, Odd Terje; Kiserud, Cecilie E.; Kyte, Jon A; Helland, Åslaug (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Development of lung cancer is closely related to smoking in a majority of patients. Most smokers, however, do not develop lung cancer in spite of a high mutational load accumulating in the lung tissue. Here we investigate ... -
Polymorphisms of the XRCC1, XRCC3 and XPD genes and risk of colorectal adenoma and carcinoma, in a Norwegian cohort: a case control study
Skjelbred, Camilla Furu; Sæbø, Mona; Wallin, Håkan; Nexø, Bjørn Andersen; Hagen, Per Chr.; Lothe, Inger Marie Bowitz; Aase, Steinar; Johnson, Egil; Hansteen, Inger-Lise; Vogel, Ulla; Kure, Elin H.
