Overall Survival of Patients with Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Following the Introduction of Targeted and Immunotherapies: A Norwegian Retrospective, Real-World Registry Data Study (RECON3).

Purpose: In Norway, 5-year survival rates of patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) are increasing. The objective of this study was to describe the survival of real-world patients with metastatic RCC (mRCC) across Norway and to identify associated factors. The results may provide additional information on the benefits of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in clinical practice.

A controlled study of use and effectiveness of phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors in long-term survivors after curative radiotherapy for prostate cancer (PCa).

Background And Purpose: We lack population-based data on the use and effectiveness of phosphodiesterase- 5inhibitors (PDE-5Is) in post-radiotherapy long-term prostate cancer survivors (PCaSs). In this cross-sectional survey performed 9 years after curative radiotherapy we explored PDE-5I use and the drugs'effectiveness in 1,092 nine-year PCaSs responding to the sexual items of EPIC-26. The findings from PCaSs were compared to those from 2,847 age-similar men from the general population (Norms).

Life-style and metabolic factors do not affect risk for glioma: a prospective population-based study (The Cohort of Norway).

Background: The identification of modifiable risk factors for intracranial glioma remains a significant challenge. While lifestyle factors and metabolic syndrome are well-established risk factors for various other cancers, their association with glioma risk remains unclear.

Objectives: This study aims to conduct a comprehensive analysis of lifestyle factors and metabolic factors in relation to glioma risk.

Children Centered Care: child and parent perspectives on a multi-faceted concept for magnetic resonance imaging without anesthesia - a survey.

Background: Anxiety-provoking healthcare procedures require specific child-friendly approaches. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can cause anxiety for children and general anesthesia (GA) is often used. We developed and tested a multi-faceted child-friendly concept, Children Centered Care, for MRI of children without GA.

Adverse Health Outcomes 3 Years after Radical Prostatectomy Compared with Men in the General Population: A Study from the Cancer Registry of Norway.

Introduction: Studies about adverse health outcomes (AHOs) after radical prostatectomy (RP) in population-based contemporary prostate cancer (PCa) patients are limited, as well as knowledge about corresponding data from age-similar men from the general population (Norms). We compared selected AHOs (pad use, intercourse inability), related problems (bother) and quality of life (QoL) between PCa patients and Norms.

Patients And Methods: The Cancer Registry of Norway (CRN) provided data on PCa patients diagnosed in 2017-2019 and treated with RP who completed the EPIC-26 and EORTC-QLQ-C30 questionnaires 24-48 months after surgery (n = 1501).
