  1. 1. Breast cancer : Multifocality, heterogeneity, and related genetic signatures

    Författare :Gyula Pekar; Dumanski Jan; Sapino Anna; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :breast; breast cancer multifocality; molecular phenotypes; intertumoral heterogeneity; biobanking; gene copy number aberrations;

    Sammanfattning : Breast carcinoma often exhibits a complex subgross morphology and may occupy a large volume of the breast tissue and show unifocal, multifocal or diffuse growth patterns. Expression of estrogen- and progesterone receptors, HER2 overexpression, tumor grade, and proliferative activity allows us to classify breast carcinoma into molecular subgroups (Luminal A, Luminal B, HER2-type, triple negative, and basal-like).

  3. 2. Prostate cancer : epidemiological studies of risk factors

    Författare :Camilla Thellenberg Karlsson; Beatrice Malmer; Henrik Grönberg; Anders Bergh; Peter Iversen; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Prostate cancer; epidemiology; SNP; BRCA2; male breast cancer; inflammation; BPH; P53; Oncology; Onkologi;

    Sammanfattning : In spite of the fact that prostate cancer is the most common male cancer in both Sweden and many other countries in the developed world, little is known of risk factors and predisposing conditions. The only well recognized risk factors are age, race and familial aggregation. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Clinical Aspects of Hereditary Breast Cancer

    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cancer; Cytologi; onkologi; cancerology; oncology; Cytology; Age of onset; Survival analysis; Incidence; Male breast cancer; Steroid receptors; BRCA2; BRCA1; Breast cancer; hereditary;

    Sammanfattning : A positive family history of breast cancer (BC) is one of the strongest predictors of the disease. Two major BC susceptibility genes, BRCA1 and BRCA2 were identified about a decade ago. In this thesis, studies of different biological. clinical and epidemiological aspects of hereditary BC are presented. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Someone has to tell them : exploring hereditary cancer risk disclosure in Sweden

    Författare :Carolina Hawranek; Anna Rosén; Senada Hajdarevic; Beatrice S. Melin; Barbro Numan Hellquist; Maria Katapodi; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cancer; hereditary cancer; prevention; family disclosure; family communication; cancer worry; risk information; at-risk relatives; cascade testing; genetic counselling; public opinion; Oncology; onkologi; Genetics; genetik;

    Sammanfattning : Summary in EnglishBackground: An awareness of hereditary susceptibility for breast, ovarian and colorectal cancer in high-risk families enables targeted cancer prevention. A discovered hereditary risk in one family member (proband) may thus be important for several members of that family. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Obesity, Adipocytes and Breast Cancer – Insights from Translational Studies

    Författare :Malin Bergqvist; Bröstcancer - prevention & intervention; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Breast Cancer; Breast cancer risk; Breast cancer prognosis; Obesity; Adipocyte; Adipokines; CAP; Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Being overweight is becoming the new normal, and more than half of the adult Swedish population is overweight which poses a risk to public health. Overweight and obese women have both an increased risk and a worse prognosis for breast cancer, compared with women of normal weight. LÄS MER
