  1. 16. From Tissue to Mutations : Genetic Profiling of Colorectal Cancer

    Författare :Lucy Mathot; Tobias Sjöblom; Mats Nilsson; Alberto Bardelli; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Nucleic acid extraction; genotyping; targeted sequencing; mutation analysis; colorectal cancer; metastatic disease; Medical Science; Medicinsk vetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : Comprehensive characterisation of the mutational landscapes of solid tumours is a multistep process involving the collection of suitable samples, the extraction of nucleic acids and the preparation of these materials for mutational analyses. In this thesis, I aimed to develop a streamlined process for the analysis of colorectal cancer (CRC) patient samples in order to identify novel mutations that hallmark the development of advanced disease.

  3. 17. Prostanoids and colorectal cancer

    Författare :Annika Gustafsson Asting; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; colorectal cancer prostanoid receptors cyclooxygenase PGE2 transcription factors;

    Sammanfattning : Tumor disease is a main cause of death in Western countries and a most common malignancy is colorectal cancer (CRC). Growing tumors are dependent on interactions among several different cells as well as signaling pathways. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Someone has to tell them : exploring hereditary cancer risk disclosure in Sweden

    Författare :Carolina Hawranek; Anna Rosén; Senada Hajdarevic; Beatrice S. Melin; Barbro Numan Hellquist; Maria Katapodi; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cancer; hereditary cancer; prevention; family disclosure; family communication; cancer worry; risk information; at-risk relatives; cascade testing; genetic counselling; public opinion; Oncology; onkologi; Genetics; genetik;

    Sammanfattning : Summary in EnglishBackground: An awareness of hereditary susceptibility for breast, ovarian and colorectal cancer in high-risk families enables targeted cancer prevention. A discovered hereditary risk in one family member (proband) may thus be important for several members of that family. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Antibiotics use in relation to colorectal cancer risk, survival and postoperative complications

    Författare :Sai San Moon Lu; Bethany van Guelpen; Sophia Harlid; Jonas Ludvigsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; colorectal cancer; antibiotics; gut microbiome; dysbiosis; cancer-specific survival; surgical site infections; anastomotic leakage; register-based epidemiology; Cancer Epidemiology; cancerepidemiologi; Cancer Epidemiology; cancerepidemiologi; Oncology; onkologi; Surgery; kirurgi;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Growing evidence suggests that antibiotic-induced dysbiosis of gut microbiota potentially contributes to colorectal cancer development and oncological outcomes. However, the role of antibiotics in colorectal cancer incidence, survival and postoperative outcomes at a population level remains incompletely understood. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Targeting allelic loss in colorectal cancer

    Författare :Verónica Rendo; Tobias Sjöblom; Nickolas Papadopoulos; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; colorectal cancer; gene editing; loss of heterozygosity; targeted therapy; whole genome sequencing;

    Sammanfattning : Targeted cancer therapy exploits molecular differences between tumor and normal cells to selectively kill cancer cells. Whereas targeting of activated oncogenes has proved clinically useful, few current therapies exploit loss-of-function mutations in tumor suppressor genes or in the genome at large. LÄS MER
