Last update
The national surveillance programme was established to monitor the vaccine uptake, effectiveness and safety of the HPV immunisation programme. - ImmigrantScreen
ImmigrantScreen
Last update
This project aims to measure the effect of information and invitations to breast and colorectal cancer screening in the assumed mother tongue, and investigate reasons for why immigrants participate or not in the screening programs for breast and colorectal cancer. - INSPIRE - information about drug cancer treatment
INSPIRE - information about drug cancer treatment

INSPIRE:kidney cancer is the third project in INSPIRE. The project will ensure continuous and regular data collection in the future,and publish the first analyses on drug kidney cancer treatment. - Effectiveness of digital breast tomosynthesis in population breast cancer screening
Effectiveness of digital breast tomosynthesis in population breast cancer screening
Last update
This international study will investigate whether tomosynthesis is a better screening tool for breast cancer than standard mammography. - The Norwegian Human Milk Study - HUMIS (project description)
The Norwegian Human Milk Study - HUMIS (project description)
Last update
The main aim of the study is to map the levels of environmental toxicants in breast milk, identify factors related to high levels, and see if there is regional differences. - Can we apply new methods to better follow up HPV-positive women?
Can we apply new methods to better follow up HPV-positive women?
Last update
Methylation analysis for increased accuracy of cervical cancer precursors requiring treatment and reduced overtreatment related to HPV-based screening - Mapping of drugs and cancer

Cancer risk associated with benzene exposure
Last update
This particular project looks into the relation between recent offshore benzene exposure and the risk to develop different cancers. - Cancer risk among firefighters
Cancer risk among firefighters
Last update
It is known that firefighters are at higher risk for some cancers – but we still know too little about the cause of this increased risk. Through this project, we try to find more of the answers. - Women's lifestyle and health - research on lifestyle, viruses and cancer
