1. 1. Molecular Genetic Alterations In Endometrial And Ovarian Cancers

   Författare :Anjila Koul; Bröstcancer-genetik; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; KRAS; PTEN; TP53; Overexpression; Mutation; Microsatellite instability; Complex atypical hyperplasia; Endometrial cancer; Ovarian cancer; cancer; onkologi; Cytologi; cancerology; oncology; Cytology; CNS metastasis; Cytogenetic analysis; BRCA2; BRCA1; B-catenin; CDKN2A;

   Sammanfattning : Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecological cancer diagnosed in western countries. Complex atypical hyperplasia (CAH) reflects a state of hyperestrinism and its role as a precursor lesion of this cancer is established. LÄS MER

3. 2. Ovarian cancer : Treatment results, prognostic factors, and tumor marker surveillance

   Författare :Thomas Högberg; Claes Tropé; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Sammanfattning : The total population-based material of 426 ovarian malignancies in the Southeast Health Care Region of Sweden during 1984-1987 was surveyed. It seems that with a program of cytoreductive surgery followed by a cisplatinum chemotherapy combination in the metastasizing cases the overall survival figures have improved. LÄS MER

4. 3. Tumors associated with Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer: Defective Mismatch Repair and Familial Risk of Cancer

   Författare :Kajsa Ericson Lindquist; Bröstcancer-genetik; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; oncology; cancerology; Cytologi; onkologi; cancer; Multiple Tumors; Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer; Cytology; Cohort study; Population based; Familial Risk of Cancer; Immunohistochemistry; MSH2; MSH6; MLH1; Microsatellite Instability; Soft Tissue Sarcomas; Cancer of the Upper Urinary Tract; Cancer of the Small Intestine; Colorectal Cancer;

   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.

5. 4. Hunting a Silent Killer. Biomolecular Approaches in Ovarian Cancer

   Författare :Nicolai Arildsen; Bröstcancer-genetik; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Ovarian cancer; Molecular biology; genetic variant; TP53 mutation; early detection; Drug Screening Assays; Antitumor; bioinformatics; next generation sequencing; NGS; prognostic and predictive biomarkers; ovarian clear cell cancer; high-grade serous ovarian cancer;

   Sammanfattning : Ovarian cancer is a heterogeneous disease and recent advances in improving patient outcome havebeen limited. It is estimated that a woman’s risk of developing ovarian cancer during her lifetime is about 1 in 70, making it a frequently occurring cancer type in women. LÄS MER

7. 5. Impact of pregnancies on ovarian cancer : Risk, prognosis and tumor biology

   Författare :Camilla Sköld; Ingrid Glimelius; Karin Stålberg; Anthoula Koliadi; Gunilla Enblad; Annika Idahl; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Epithelial ovarian cancer; non-epithelial ovarian cancer; reproductive history; parity; risk factor; survival; progesterone receptor;

   Sammanfattning : Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecological malignancy. The etiology is complex and not fully understood, partly since ovarian cancer is not one distinct disease, but rather several histologically and clinically different subtypes. LÄS MER
