  1. 6. Significance of Wilms’ tumor gene 1 as a biomarker in acute leukemia and solid tumors

    Författare :Charlotta Andersson; Eva Lundin; Aihong Li; Andreas Jonsson; Xingru Li; David M. Loeb; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Wilms’ tumor gene 1; biomarker; leukemia; renal cell carcinoma; ovarian carcinoma; Clinical Chemistry; klinisk kemi; patologi; Pathology;

    Sammanfattning : Wilms’ tumor gene 1 (WT1) is a zinc finger transcriptional regulator with crucial functions in embryonic development. Originally WT1 was described as a tumor suppressor gene, but later studies have shown oncogenic properties of WT1 in a variety of tumors. Because of its dual functions in tumorigenesis, WT1 has been described as a chameleon gene. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Immunological recognition and tumor escape mechanisms of ovarian carcinoma

    Författare :Håkan Norell; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Tumor immunology; Immune escape; Antitumor immunity; Ovarian carcinoma; NK cells; HLA class 1; LOH; IFN-γ; CTL; HLA-G; HLA-E; Activating receptors; NK cell-based therapy;

    Sammanfattning : Ovarian carcinoma is a leading cause of cancer mortality and there is an urgent need for new and better therapeutic modalities that result in improved long-term outcome for this severe malignancy. One promising treatment modality for patients suffering from ovarian carcinoma is immunotherapy. LÄS MER

  4. 8. On the prognosis and treatment of early stage endometrial carcinoma : Studies with special reference to uterine papillary serous carcinoma

    Författare :Per Rosenberg; Bengt Sorbe; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : The prognosis and therapy in the subgroup of endometrial malignancies called Uterine Papillary Serous Carcinoma (UPSC) was investigated. This entity constitutes about 6-8 % of all endometrial carcinomas clinical stage I but, as has been shown here, accounts for one third of the cancer mortality in the early stages of endometrial carcinoma.

  5. 9. New Prognostic Markers in Stage III Serous Ovarian Adenocarcinomas

    Författare :Karolina Partheen; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Ovarian cancer; Biomarker; Prognostic factors; Integrin beta 3;

    Sammanfattning : Ovarian carcinoma is the fifth most common cause of cancer death in Swedish women. Patients with advanced-stage disease respond differently to treatment, and the clinical outcome is difficult to predict for an individual patient. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Development and Application of Human Chromosome 22 Genomic Microarray : Chromosome 22-Associated Disorders Analyzed by Array-Based Comparative Genomic Hybridization

    Författare :Magdalena Benetkiewicz; Jan Dumanski; Niklas Dahl; Frank Speleman; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular genetics; DNA copy number changes; chromosome 22; genomic microarray; array-CGH; schwannoma; neurofibromatosis type 2; ovarian carcinoma; breast cancer; Wilms tumor; Genetik; Genetics; Genetik;

    Sammanfattning : The array-based form of comparative genomic hybridization (array-CGH) is a new methodology that has shown to be of significant importance. This thesis focuses on the development of array-CGH with the aim to define candidate regions/genes on chromosome 22 in a wide spectrum of cancer-related conditions. LÄS MER
