Breast cancer incidence trends in Norway--explained by hormone therapy or mammographic screening?   Int J Cancer, 130(12): 2930-8.

A decline in breast cancer incidence has been observed in several countries after 2002.

Testosterone treatment in the aging male: myth or reality?   Swiss Med Wkly, 142: w13539.

The definition of late onset hypogonadism in the aging male is controversially debated, and according to the latest literature consists of at least three especially sexual symptoms such as loss of morning erection, low sexual desire and erectile dysfunction as well as a total testosterone <8-11 nmol/l.
