  1. 1. Head and Neck Cancer: Studies on microvessel density, radiation response and FDG PET

    Författare :Eva Brun; Bröstcancer-genetik; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; positron emission tomography PET ; 2-18 fluoro deoxy glucose FDG ; radiotherapy; microvessel density; Head and neck cancer; therapy response; Cytology; oncology; cancerology; Cytologi; onkologi; cancer;

    Sammanfattning : Treatment options of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) usually include combinations of radiotherapy and surgery, and in some cases addition of chemotherapy. In locally advanced cases cure rates are low. Current prognostic factors cannot foresee the outcome for the individual patient. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Vascular density and bone marrow fibrosis in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia

    Författare :Ulrika Norén Nyström; Anders Bergh; Erik Forestier; Göran Roos; Henrik Schrøder; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia; microvessel density; bone marrow fibrosis; in vitro drug resistance; minimal residual disease; outcome; Oncology; Onkologi;

    Sammanfattning : Background: In childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), the cure rate has now reached 80% in the western world. Even so, 15¬–20% will die from the disease or treatment-related causes, among them children who did not present any known unfavorable features at diagnosis. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Angiogenesis Related Markers In Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

    Författare :Daniel Brattström; Ola Brodin; Gunnar Wagenius; Torgny Rasmusen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Oncology; Lung cancer; NSCLC; Therapy; Angiogenesis; VEGF; bFGF; Microvessel density; Survival; Onkologi; Oncology; Onkologi;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis investigated the predictive and the prognostic powers of angiogenesis related markers in both operable and inoperable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients.In the first and second study, we investigated the serological fractions of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in 2 cohorts of patients with either operable or inoperable NSCLC.

  5. 4. Androgen-Independent Prostate Cancer - studies on angiogenesis and ADAMTS1

    Författare :Helene Gustavsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Prostate cancer; Androgen-independent; Castration resistant; Hormone refractory; Angiogenesis; Microvessel density; ADAMTS1; LNCaP; VEGF; TSP1;

    Sammanfattning : Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is the standard treatment for advanced prostate cancer since prostate tumors initially are dependent on androgens for growth. However, most tumors will eventually relapse and grow in a highly aggressive and androgen-independent (AI) manner. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Positive and negative angiogenic factors in patients with malignant disease

    Författare :Christina Linder; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :angiogenesis; neovascularization; microvessel density; VEGF; bFGF; stromelysin-3;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis, the levels of positive and negative angiogenic factors were studied in tissue, serum and urine from patients with malignant disease. The angiogenic factors VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) and bFGF (basic fibroblast growth factor) were studied in breast carcinomas. LÄS MER
