Større forskningsprosjekter
Under er et utvalg av de viktigste forskningsprosjektene.
- Establishment of a national database and biobank for patients resected for esophageal cancer as part of the NORECa project (Norwegian Esophageal Expert Consortium).
- Total histopathologic response after neoadjuvant chemo(radio)therapy for esophageal cancer -patient characteristics, diagnostics and survival. National study.
- Prediction of postoperative outcome in esophageal cancer with body composition estimates based on AI-segmentation of preoperative CT.
- Monitoring complications/survival after resection for esophageal- and gastric cancer – local registry.
- Continuous local biobanking (blood/tumor tissue) for esophageal cancer, by now some 550 esophageal cancer patients and some 330 gastric cancer patients.
- Studies on esophageal cancer on biomarkers /local treatment of dysplasia and early cancer.
- INTENSE study. Effect of perioperative chemotherapy (FOLFIXFLIRIx4x2) in patients with resectable gastric and gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma.
- NEEDS study. Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy for squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus versus definitive chemoradiotherapy with salvage surgery as needed. Multicenter study started in 2021.
- VESTIGE study. Postoperative Immunotherapy vs. Standard chemotherapy for gastric cancer stage Ib-IVb, including esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma, with high risk for recurrence.
- The upper GI International Robotic Association (UGIRA) - International Registry for Robot-Assisted Minimally Gastrectomy and Esophagectomy (RAMIG and RAMIE) for cancer.
- kiNETiC study – a Scandinavian Randomized Controlled Trial- Ng-tube post–EsophagecTomy.
- Nordic NEC registry (neuroendocrine carcinoma of the GI-tract (GEP-NEC)) (NNTG).
- Etablert “gallegruppa” som planlegges videreutviklet som egen forskningsgruppe for akuttkirurgi.
