  1. 16. On the Diagnostics of Neuroblastoma : Clinical and Experimental Studies

    Författare :Kleopatra Georgantzi; Åke Jakobson; Ingrid Øra; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Neuroendocrine; Immunohistochemistry; Urinary Catecholamine Metabolites; Markers; Outcome;

    Sammanfattning : Neuroblastoma (NB) is one of the most common childhood cancers. Patients with low stage tumor have high survival rate, while those with advanced stage and/or unfavorable molecular biology have poor prognosis. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Pregnancy Ultrasound Detecting Soft Markers – the Challenge of Communicating Risk Figures

    Författare :Annika Åhman; Anna Sarkadi; Christine Rubertsson; Peter Lindgren; Marie Berg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pregnancy; Ultrasound; Soft markers; Prenatal; Screening; Fathers; Informed decision making; Decision aid.; Obstetrik och gynekologi; Obstetrics and Gynaecology;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis focuses on expectant parents’ experiences and needs when soft makers are detected at mid-trimester ultrasound, resulting in an unexpected assessment of risk for fetal anomalies. The thesis also describes the prevalence of ultrasonographic fetal soft markers and the incidence of Down syndrome in a low-risk population of 10,535 pregnant women with a total of 10,710 fetuses, as well as the risk of invasive prenatal diagnostics in conjunction with the detection of soft markers.

  4. 18. Diagnostic and prognostic markers in thyroid carcinoma with focus on TERT activation

    Författare :Ninni Mu; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Well-differentiated follicular cell-derived thyroid carcinomas are usually categorized into papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC), which represent the most common and second most common types of thyroid carcinoma, respectively. PTC patients generally have a good prognosis, although a subset of patients progress in their disease with poor clinical outcome. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Prognostic molecular markers of childhood leukemia

    Författare :Fredrika Gauffin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Acute lymphoblastic leukemia; dic 9; 20 ; dried blood spots; Guthrie card; RNA; PTEN; SHP1; VEGF; VEGFR-1; VEGFR-2; immuhistochemistry; tissue micro array;

    Sammanfattning : During the last decades there has been a dramatic increase in survival rates for childhood leukemia, resulting today in an overall survival close to 90 % for children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). This accomplishment is largely due to treatment protocols based on careful risk group assessment guiding the type and intensity of the anti-leukemic treatment. LÄS MER

  7. 20. In search of diagnostic and prognostic markers for thyroid cancer : a proteomics approach

    Författare :Anastasios Sofiadis; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Thyroid tumors; thyroid proteomics; S100A6; MIB-1; 2DE; MALDI-TOF-MS; SELDI-TOF-MS; protein pre-fractionation;

    Sammanfattning : Early diagnosis of cancer can influence the therapeutic strategy increasing the chances of cure or, at least, prolonged survival. It is equally important to be able to detect prognostic signs, i.e. tumor features that characterize its behavior. LÄS MER
