    Sammanfattning : Medulloblastoma is the most common malignant brain tumor of childhood. It arises in the posterior fossa but presents with distinct histological and molecular features. Hence, medulloblastoma is divided into four molecular subgroups, WNT, SHH, Group 3, and Group 4. LÄS MER

  3. 2. From Genes to Therapy : Modeling and Novel Therapeutic Strategies for Brain Tumors

    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medulloblastoma; Glioblastoma; MYCN; PDGF; Cancer Therapy; BET bromodomains; Temozolomide; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science; Oncology; Onkologi;

    Sammanfattning : Medulloblastoma is the most common malignant pediatric brain tumor and is molecularly divided into four subgroups – WNT, SHH, Group 3 and Group 4. Two thirds of medulloblastoma patients survive, but survivors often suffer from severe, lifelong side-effects. The MYCN oncogene is deregulated in many medulloblastoma patients. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Glioblastoma heterogeneity and plasticity : Investigating the roles of BMP4 and SOX2

    Författare :Erika Dalmo; Bengt Westermark; Fredrik J. Swartling; Lene Uhrbom; Ana Martin-Villalba; Uppsala universitet; []

    Sammanfattning : The malignant primary brain tumor glioblastoma has a dismal prognosis and is distinguished by its heterogeneous character. Current treatment with surgical resection, radiotherapy and adjuvant chemotherapy with the alkylating agent temozolomide does not provide a cure, but simply prolongs survival by a few months.

  5. 4. Of Mice and MYC : Modelling Medulloblastoma

    Författare :Oliver Mainwaring; Fredrik J. Swartling; Charles Eberhart; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medulloblastoma; MYC; Group 3; Cdkn2a; ARF; HSP90; Chromosome 17q; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science; Oncology; Onkologi;

    Sammanfattning : Brain tumours are the leading cause of cancer-related paediatric deaths, with medulloblastoma (MB) being the most common malignant paediatric brain tumour. MB is stratified into four major subgroups – WNT, SHH, Group 3, and Group 4, nomenclature defined by key pathways and drivers involved within each subgroup. LÄS MER
