Projects

Long-term adverse health effects in cancer patients: Prescribing of drugs in survivors of adult-onset cancer 

In this study, we take advantage of nationwide population-based registries and databases to explore long-term adverse health effects in survivors of adult-onset cancer (≥20 years). Specifically, we aim to examine the use of prescribed drugs, as proxies for specific diseases, in cancer patients compared with the general population. In sub-analyses, we will also examine prescription of drugs shortly before and after cancer diagnosis. The linked dataset includes information from the Cancer Registry of Norway and the Norwegian Prescription Database, in addition to other national registries and databases. Prescribing of drugs may provide the most comprehensive assessment of long-term health-related outcomes among cancer survivors.

Metabolic Syndrome and Cancer project (Me-Can) http://me-can.se/

In 2006, cohorts from Austria, Norway and Sweden were linked to national registries in the Me-Can 1.0 project. Data from almost 600,000 men and women were used to study various metabolic factors in relation to cancer risk. The Me-Can collaboration continues within the Me-Can 2.0 project where the aim is to characterise the metabolic syndrome-cancer relationship in more detail by adding new variables from cohort questionnaires and new register linkages, and new participants from the cohorts, by updating linkages to national cancer and cause of death registers, and by implementing new statistical methods. Several studies are ongoing.

Nordic Countries Linked Birth and Cancer Registries Cohort Project

Complex biological mechanisms promote carcinogenesis, and there is increasing evidence that pregnancy related exposures influence foetal growth cell division and organ functioning and may have a long-lasting impact on health and disease susceptibility in the mothers and offspring. Linking health registries, such as medical birth, cancer and patient registries, and pooling of data in the Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden) have provided opportunities to conduct epidemiologic research of pregnancy exposures and subsequent cancer development. Several studies are ongoing.

Improving prognosis of patients with glioblastoma: Linking health registry and clinical data to basic brain tumour research (GlioLink)

The GlioLink project will combine basic brain tumour research with nationwide population-based health registry and clinical data in order to screen brain penetrating drugs for their anti-tumour effects where the aim is to identify novel targets and develop new treatment strategies for glioblastoma.

In this project, we will, based on information from the Cancer Registry of Norway, the Norwegian Prescription Database and other national databases, investigate whether the use of antipsychotics and antidepressants is associated with a prolonged survival among patients with glioblastoma. We will also investigate whether the use of these drugs is associated with a lower risk of developing glioblastoma. Several factors that affect the prognosis for patients with glioblastoma will be investigated in supplementary analyzes of clinical data. The drugs identified in the observational studies will be tested and further developed in the laboratory. Since it is likely that the newly developed drugs will not have an effect on all patients, we will also test the effect of the drugs in tissue samples from patients with glioblastoma.
