    Sammanfattning : Inactivation of the DNA mismatch repair (MMR) system is a tumorigenic mechanism involved in 15-20% of tumor types such as colorectal and endometrial cancer and is specifically associated with the Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer (HNPCC) syndrome. These MMR defective tumors are characterized by microsatellite instability (MSI), a phenomenon that reflects alterations in length of repeated sequences, and 90% of MSI tumors show loss of immunohistochemical expression for the MMR protein affected.

  3. 2. Host-parasite interaction in men with febrile urinary tract infection

    Författare :Peter Ulleryd; Göteborgs universitet; []

    Sammanfattning : In a retrospective study, Escherichia coli isolates from 88 men with symptomatic urinary tract infection (UTI) were analysed. A wide array of O:K:H serotypes commonly associated with acute pyelonephritis in women were identified. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Familial risks for cancer with reference to lung cancer

    Författare :Xinjun Li; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Familial cancer; population-based; hereditary factors; familial risk; lung neoplasms.;

    Sammanfattning : Familial aggregation of cancer may be due either to environmental factors shared by family members, or to shared genes. Familial clustering has been an avenue to the understanding of the etiology of cancer and has been a basis for clinical decisions and counseling, as well as guiding the identification of cancer-related genes.

  5. 4. Current and possible future diagnostic methods for upper tract urothelial carcinoma

    Författare :Alexandra Grahn; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Urothelial carcinoma is a type of cancer originating from the mucus membrane of the urinary tract. It most commonly occurs in the bladder but may also occur in the upper urinary tract, then called UTUC. UTUC is mainly detected in sexagenarians and older individuals. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Smoking and cancer among Swedish women

    Författare :Anders Nordlund; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH AREAS; TVÄRVETENSKAPLIGA FORSKNINGSOMRÅDEN;

    Sammanfattning : Cancer has been the second most frequent cause of death in Sweden and in other developed countries for most of the 20th century, and today accounts for about 25 per cent of all mortality. While the trend in overall cancer mortality has been increasing among men, the picture is less clear regarding women. LÄS MER
